The field of obstetrics and gynecology (OB/Gyn) is essential for women’s health, encompassing a wide range of services from routine check-ups to complex surgeries. Billing for these services involves navigating a labyrinth of codes and regulations.

The Complexity of OB/Gyn Billing
OB/Gyn billing is multifaceted due to the variety of procedures and treatments involved. Understanding the appropriate use of CPT codes, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, and modifiers is crucial for accurate and efficient billing.
