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 this episode of Payment in Practice, host Lisa Satterfield sits down with Dr. Judy Volker — ACOG's CPT Advisor and longtime member of the Committee on Health Economics and Coding (CHEC) — to pull back the curtain on how CPT codes are actually created. From understanding Category 1 vs. Category 3 codes, to navigating the AMA's rigorous literature requirements, to submitting a new code with ACOG's support, this episode is an essential primer for any OB-GYN who wants to understand the process behind the procedure codes they bill every day.
