Professional Cardiology Medical Billing

Our professional OBGYN medical billing experts offers specialized expertise to the complexities of coding and reimbursement for a wide range of women’s health services.  Our obgyn medical billing services ensure accurate coding for everything from routine gynecological checks to deliveries, while also addressing the complexities of billing, A/R and coding.

By outsourcing medical billing to Stars Pro, OBGYN practices can achieve smoother workflows, minimize administrative burdens for staff, and maximize their financial return by receiving appropriate reimbursement for the care they provide.

Our OB/GYN Medical Billing Process

OB/GYN medical billing involves a specific set of steps to ensure accurate coding and timely reimbursement for the diverse services provided. Here’s a breakdown of the typical OB/GYN medical billing process:

Patient Registration and Insurance Verification

During patient intake, demographic information and insurance details are collected. Our billing expert verifies insurance coverage and eligibility specifically for OB/GYN services planned for the visit.

Charge Capture and Coding

After the patient encounter, the physician documents the provided services. A medical coder then translates this documentation into specific medical codes using ICD-10-CM for diagnoses and CPT® codes for procedures. Accurate coding is crucial for proper OB/GYN billing, especially considering the use of modifiers for complex deliveries or additional procedures.

Claim Submission

The coded information is used to generate an electronic claim for the insurance company. This claim details the services provided, the corresponding codes, and the amount being billed.

Payment Posting and Reimbursement

The insurance company processes the claim and determines the allowed amount based on patient coverage and contracted rates. Once received, the payment is posted to the patient's account.

Denial Management

Sometimes, insurance companies may deny claims due to errors or missing information. The billing team meticulously reviews denied claims, identifies the reason for denial, and works to appeal them with the insurance company to secure proper reimbursement.

Patient Billing and Collections

The patient may be responsible for co-pays, deductibles, or any uncovered charges. The billing team will generate patient statements and handle the collection process, which may involve sending reminders or contacting patients directly.

What are Benefits of Outsourcing OBGYN Medical Billing?

Managing the complexities of OB/GYN medical billing in-house can divert valuable resources away from patient care. Outsourcing these services to a professional medical billing company offers a multitude of benefits for your practice:
  • Enhanced Efficiency and Reduced Costs:

Focus on Patient Care: By offloading billing tasks, your OB/GYN physicians and staff can dedicate more time to patient interaction and overall practice management.

Reduced Overhead: Outsourcing eliminates the need to hire, train, and manage dedicated billing staff. This saves on salaries, benefits, and office equipment costs.

  • Expertise in OB/GYN Coding and Reimbursement:

Accurate Coding: Experienced medical billers ensure proper coding for prenatal care, deliveries (including complexities), and various gynecological procedures. This maximizes your reimbursement potential.

Staying Up-to-Date: Regulations and coding requirements constantly evolve. Outsourcing partners keep your practice compliant, minimizing the risk of audits and maximizing revenue.

  • Improved Revenue Cycle Management:

Faster Reimbursement: Streamlined processes lead to faster claim submissions and quicker turnaround times for insurance payments, improving your cash flow.

Reduced Denials and Rejections: Expertise in OB/GYN billing minimizes coding errors that can lead to claim denials and rejections, ensuring you receive what’s due.

  • Streamlined Patient Billing and Improved Patient Satisfaction:

Clear Communication: Outsourcing billing can ensure smoother billing processes with fewer errors, leading to more satisfied patients.

Efficient Collections: Professional billers handle patient billing and collections efficiently, minimizing confusion and improving patient experience.

What CPT Codes are Used by OBGYN Physicians in Medical Billing?

OB/GYN physicians utilize a variety of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes for medical billing purposes. These codes categorize the specific services provided during patient encounters. Here’s a breakdown of the key CPT code categories used in OB/GYN billing:
  1. Obstetric Services (56405 – 59899): This is the primary category for OB care, encompassing prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum services. Some specific examples include:
Routine prenatal care: 59030 (initial comprehensive obstetric care), 59040 (subsequent comprehensive obstetric care) Deliveries: 59400 (vaginal delivery without complications), 59510 (cesarean section delivery) Management of high-risk pregnancies: Codes exist for various complications, often paired with global obstetric codes (see below) with specific modifiers.
  1. Global Obstetric Codes (59400, 59510, 59610, 59618): These codes encompass comprehensive care throughout pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum period,  provided by a single physician or group. They are used when the same provider manages the entire pregnancy and delivery.
  2. Gynecological Services (57000 – 59378): This category covers a wide range of women’s health services beyond pregnancy. Examples include:
Pelvic exams: 58140 (complete pelvic exam), 58141 (limited pelvic exam) Pap smears: Pap smears are often billed with an additional code depending on the type performed (e.g., 88154 for Pap smear with endocervical scraping) Colposcopy: 57460 (colposcopy with cervical biopsy) IUD insertion/removal: 58300 (insertion of IUD), 58301 (removal of IUD)
  1. Evaluation and Management Services (E/M Services) (99201-99499):  These codes represent office visits, consultations, and other outpatient services, similar to other specialties. The specific E/M code chosen depends on factors like:

Complexity of the patient’s medical history

Extent of the physical examination performed

Medical decision-making required by the physician

  1. Additional Codes:  Beyond these core categories, OB/GYN physicians may utilize additional CPT codes for specific services they provide, such as:

Ultrasound procedures: Codes vary depending on the type of ultrasound performed (e.g., 76801 for transabdominal ultrasound during pregnancy)

Minor surgical procedures: Codes exist for various procedures performed in the office setting, like biopsies (e.g., 10040 for excision of lesion).
