The 2022 expanded edition incorporates instruction from our Diagnostic Coding for Obstetricians and Gynecologists booklet and includes new sections on Evaluation and Management, Telehealth, and COVID-19.

The manual is divided into 3 parts: A chapter section offering guidance on various coding topics, code pages that included 2022 relative-value units and coding tips, and Appendices that include printable 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 (CHEC) about the specific services included (or not included) in each ob-gyn procedure code listed.
