Your financial prep guide for ACOG Annual Meeting 2026
ACOG's 75th Annual Clinical & Scientific Meeting runs May 1-3 in Washington, DC. The clinical content is deep, but the practice management track is where your bottom line lives. Sorso is not an exhibitor, sponsor, or speaker at this event. This is an independent prep guide for OB/GYN practice owners.
Why this matters for your bottom line
OB/GYN reimbursement spans global maternity codes, surgical fees, and office E/M visits. Practices that miss the timing rules on global packages routinely under-bill, and the lost dollars compound across every delivery.
Malpractice insurance is one of the largest fixed costs in OB/GYN. Premiums vary widely by state and carrier, and practices that have not shopped policies in three years are usually overpaying.
Office-based ancillaries (ultrasound, in-office procedures, lab) often carry better margins than the deliveries that drive the schedule. Knowing the contribution of each line is how you decide where to invest provider time.
Workforce shortages in OB/GYN are pushing compensation up. Practices with stale comp models are losing physicians to hospital systems and PE-backed groups, both of which affect long-term independence.
What to look for
Practice management sessions on global OB billing rules and common documentation gaps
Reimbursement updates for office-based procedures: LEEPs, hysteroscopy, IUD insertion, endometrial biopsy
Risk management and malpractice cost control sessions, especially for solo and small group practices
Workforce sessions covering APP integration (CNMs, NPs) and physician compensation benchmarking
Ancillary service economics: in-office ultrasound, lab, and pelvic floor therapy
Practice valuation and consolidation trends as PE rolls up women's health groups
Financial prep checklist
Review these before you go.
Run revenue per delivery, global package plus ancillaries plus out-of-package billing, on the last 50 deliveries
Walk through your office-based procedure volume and revenue contribution by CPT code
Inventory malpractice premium per provider and the date you last shopped carriers
Identify which payers reimburse OB globals below your cost to deliver
Audit APP utilization: revenue per CNM or NP against physician revenue per hour
Compare your overhead rate against MGMA OB/GYN data for your practice size
From our CFO
OB/GYN is one of the most complex billing environments in outpatient medicine. Most practice owners we meet have never reconciled their global OB packages against actual visits delivered, which means they do not know whether they are leaving five figures or six on the table per year. Before you head to DC, pull your last 50 deliveries and audit the global package billing. That single exercise often pays for the trip.
