Understanding the complexities of OBGYN, any expert will admit, is not easy as there are various rules as well as exceptions together with multiple codes for a range of medical billing services and phases involved in OBGYN.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it comes to rules and regulations, coverage is a concern \u2013 because there are as many rules as there are exceptions or variations-<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Pregnancy coverage doesn\u2019t form an independent insurance plan; it\u2019s an additional coverage added to an existing plan, which involves an amendment to the existing insurance policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Another thing that involves change in policy and procedures and codes is broken global, which happens when a pregnant patient changes her insurer in the course of pregnancy care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Moreover, coverage is not uniform across pregnancy care but is split into inpatient and outpatient services. Outpatient includes such parts of care as involve a visit or consulting (like prenatal and postnatal visits) whereas inpatient covers costs related to hospital stay and child delivery. And each one of these services has separate codes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Additionally, there are complexities brought in by medical aspects of OBGYN. Gynecology involves multiple diagnostic tests and pregnancy is one of them, which requires the biller to be familiar with the tests performed for pregnancy so that they can separate them from the ones not for pregnancy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Finally, all these policies, diagnoses and tests lead to amassing of data which requires effective documenting, so that they can be used as required for preparing claims accurately<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These challenges have been found to undercut care providers\u2019 finances by 7 to 10 percent, which, according to many, is a conservative estimate.
