Payment in Practice: Conversations for OB/GYNs
ACOG's Payment in Practice provides scenarios for coding and billing for procedures typically performed by obstetrician-gynecologists directly from ACOG's Committee on Health Economics and Coding, or the CHEC. The CHEC Committee works to advocate for obstetrician-gynecologists and to ensure that physicians are paid fairly for their work. This podcast is a companion to ACOG's Payment in Practice webinar series.

In Sept 2025 the AMA CPT Editorial Panel voted to delete the OB global codes effective January 1, 2027 and in January 2026 the AMA RUC discussed the codes at length to assign values (see page 2022). This is all due to advocacy by ob-gyns engaging through surveys and ACOG's Payment Advocacy and Policy Portal, and work performed by the members of the Committee on Health Economics and Coding, to make sure ob-gyns get paid for the work they perrform.
