FAQs About Annual Gynecology Exams
When Should You Visit The Gynecologist?
The annual physical exam is generally a complete physical exam; therefore, absolutely necessary. During your visit, you can discuss any issues in the past year so your doctor can aptly address them. Additionally, your doctor can detect potential diseases in the early stages for prompt treatment. Typically we recommend women between the ages of 21 and 29 visit their gynecologist every year for an annual checkup.
If you are scheduled to deliver in 2027, changes to CMS billing guidelines will affect how your maternity care is billed.
WHAT'S CHANGING
Currently, prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum care are billed as one global package. Beginning in September, prenatal visits will be billed separately if you are expected to deliver in 2027. You can expect to see individual charges listed on your EОВ.
WHAT'S NOT CHANGING
Your care will not change – only the way it is billed. You will continue to receive the same prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care from your OBGYN team.
