What good OB-GYN billing execution looks like for California providers.
The California OB-GYN billing market has its own quirks. Here is the operating discipline we install on every California engagement.
- Global OB package billing and antepartum visit trackingGlobal OB package (59400, 59510, 59610, 59618) bundles antepartum, delivery, and postpartum care. California OB-GYN practices need accurate antepartum visit tracking to determine global vs separate billing.
- Newborn delivery coding for vaginal vs C-sectionVaginal delivery (59409 with global, 59410 with postpartum) vs C-section (59514, 59515) carry distinct codes. Twin and complex deliveries add code complexity.
- Ultrasound and antepartum diagnostic billingOB ultrasound (76801-76817) and BPP, NST, and antepartum surveillance billing require precise study-type coding and appropriate modifier use.
- Annual well-woman visit + preventive codingAnnual well-woman visit (99396-99397, plus G0101 / Q0091 for Medicare screening pap) bills distinctly from problem-oriented visits. Modifier 25 needed when same-day E/M occurs.
- LARC and contraception codingIUD insertion (58300), removal (58301), and Nexplanon (11981-11983) plus device J-codes (J7297, J7298, J7300, J7301) require accurate placement and inventory billing.
- Pelvic surgery and laparoscopic procedure codingHysterectomy, myomectomy, oophorectomy, and pelvic floor procedures carry complex code stacks with bundling rules. California OB-GYN practices doing surgery need specialty coders.
