The New Obstetric Codes: Preparing Your Practice for the 2027 Maternity Care Transition
A one-hour live webinar on the restructured maternity care codes taking effect January 1, 2027, and how to ready your practice now.
About this webinar
For more than 30 years, obstetric care has been billed through a single global code covering antepartum, delivery, and postpartum services. Effective January 1, 2027, the American Medical Association (AMA) replaces that bundled model with a restructured set of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) maternity care codes. The update deletes 17 codes, adds 12, and revises 6, reorganizing reporting around four distinct phases: antepartum, labor management, delivery, and postpartum.
This one-hour webinar prepares American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOOG) members for the shift. Faculty walk through the new code structure, the move to per-encounter evaluation and management (E/M) reporting for antepartum care, daily labor management reporting, and the documentation practices needed to bill accurately and withstand payer scrutiny. Attendees leave with a clear view of what changes, when, and how to ready their workflows before the January 2027 effective date.
