What to do
by Sep 16, 2026 · 3 steps
01All billing professionals, coders, and physicians should attend the webinar 'Implementing Tailored Prenatal Care and New Obstetric Billing Codes' presented by Dr. Alex Peahl to understand the 2027 transition to unbundled obstetric codes.
02Before January 1, 2027: Billing team and providers must evaluate and update clinical documentation templates, billing system configurations, and claims workflows to accommodate the new unbundled obstetric billing codes.
03Update encounter forms to ensure providers document each component of prenatal care separately.
If missed: Failure to implement these changes will result in claim rejections and revenue loss when the 2027 transition takes effect.
