From managing hormonal imbalances to welcoming newborns into the world, OBGYN providers carry immense responsibility in delivering high-quality women’s healthcare. Credence’s OBGYN billing services are specifically designed to support the unique operational and financial needs of obstetrics and gynecology practices—allowing you to focus on patient care while we protect and optimize your practice’s financial health.
Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN or OB/GYN) is an essential medical specialty that delivers comprehensive care to women at every stage of life. As a combined specialty, OBGYN is inherently complex. Providers utilize both medical and surgical treatments to manage conditions such as menopause, infertility, hormonal imbalances, contraception, and cervical cancer, while also ensuring safe and effective prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care.
OBGYN professionals continuously move between outpatient clinics, labor and delivery units, and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to address the diverse needs of their patients. This fast-paced and demanding environment leaves little time to manage the complexities of medical billing and coding. Partnering with a trusted third-party billing provider like Credence helps simplify these processes, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely reimbursements.
Common Challenges in OBGYN Medical Billing
In the United States, obstetricians and gynecologists experience burnout rates ranging from 40% to 75%. Many sacrifice personal time, sleep, and family commitments to support their patients’ physical, emotional, and mental well-being—while also handling extensive administrative responsibilities related to claims submission and revenue collection.
OBGYN billing challenges intensify due to bundled services, frequent coding updates, varying payer policies, and strict documentation requirements. These complexities can lead to claim denials, delayed payments, and revenue loss if not managed effectively. To maintain clean claim submissions, reduce denials, and optimize the revenue cycle, OBGYN practices need specialized billing expertise—something Credence delivers with consistency and precision.
