One global maternity bundle splits into itemized codes for prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care starting January 1, 2027 — and the details are still shifting. CMS's proposed CY2027 fee schedule reshuffles value within that structure: labor and delivery codes see a proposed 15% bump, while prenatal and postpartum visits lose ground. A proposed set of transitional G-codes could also let some payers keep billing the old bundled way, meaning two billing systems could run side by side for the same care. If you're trying to plan renewal around a rule that isn't finished, you're not alone. Join Maven's CMO and CRO for an AMA on what's confirmed, what's contested, and how to get ahead of it.
Join to learn:
- What CMS has confirmed versus what's still contested in the proposed CY2027 fee schedule, including the G-code proposal that could split billing into two parallel systems.
- How to build budget predictability into your 2027 renewal even as the fee structure shifts underneath it.
- Which levers — high-risk identification, NICU avoidance, C-section reduction — actually cut your exposure to unpredictable claims.
