Maternity care has evolved in practice and scope—and now so have the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes that describe these vital procedures and services.
Effective Jan. 1, 2027, CPT codes for maternity care services will reflect the realities of modern care: how, when, where and by whom those services are delivered. By allowing the full spectrum of individualized and contemporary care to be represented in real time, the CPT 2027 maternity care services restructure supports better tracking and transparency throughout the health care ecosystem.
To educate health plans preparing to implement appropriate policy, this webinar offers a comprehensive preview of the upcoming CPT code set changes for maternity care services. Join the AMA, along with leaders from the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) and the CPT Editorial Panel to learn about:
- The rationale behind revising the maternity care services CPT codes
- The new framework’s structure and approach
- Key considerations for payers to plan for future implementation
