American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
Jan 1, 2027
Today, the AMA announced the launch of the new obstetric codes, which are set to go into effect for all health plans on January 1, 2027. This change is the direct result of years of advocacy from our ob-gyn members, who have fought to be able to provide patient-centered care with reduced administrative burden. The deletion of the global obstetric code and transition to new codes is a significant win for our ACOG community and for the sustainability of practice—one that reflects the power of our members’ voices and tireless advocacy. To support a smooth transition, we’ve developed several educational resources to help prepare ACOG’s ob-gyn members. We’ll also keep creating resources, answering questions, and working with the AMA ahead of January 1, 2027, to make this exciting transition as smooth for our members as possible, so stay tuned for more information and tools in the coming weeks
