When big policy shifts happen, it’s time for the midwifery community to speak out!
This week on Episode 15 of the Possibilist Midwives Podcast Ginger and Denise dive deep into some concerning new updates shaking up the world of ob-gyn billing. ACOG recently shared details regarding CMS adding back 15 previously cut codes and creating new “G-codes.” This move could theoretically allow insurance companies to keep paying bundled global fees into 2027, rather than transitioning to the new CPT codes proposed by the AMA/ACOG for January implementation. ACOG statement found here.
What does this mean for your practice, your reimbursement, and the future of midwifery billing? More importantly, how can you make your voice heard during the open comment period?
Joining the conversation is Arden Schwenker, CFO of Grow Midwives and Director of the GM billing service. Arden brings insider expertise to the table, having participated directly in conversations with the AMA/ACOG panel during the formulation of these codes. She breaks down the complex implications for obstetric care, shares key takeaways from recent ACOG trainings, and explains how accurate medical decision-making documentation is more critical than ever.
