"The 2024 OB/GYN Coding Manual: Components of Correct Coding is the primary billing and coding resource for obstetrician-gynecologists and their staff. For 2024, the manual has been modified with input from physicians and coders to improve ease of use and provide unique information just for ob-gyn practices. The coding material, which is organized by systems, offers 2024 updates that can be used for billing, preauthorization requirements, appeals, and more. The appendices include tables for the quick reference of the coding guidelines in this manual. The manual follows established CPT guidelines and includes Medicare guideline information for accurately reporting medical procedures. It represents the expert opinions of ACOG staff and members of the ACOG Committee on Health Economics and Coding about the specific services included (or not included) in each ob-gyn procedure code listed. Updates in the 2024 version include the following: new codes for transcervical radiofrequency ablation of uterine fibroids; new codes for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy; new evaluation and management codes for pelvic exam; significant new category III codes added to the current list of temporary codes for reporting emerging technology, services, and procedures; and significant additions to neurostimulator CPT codes"--
