Benchmarks
OB-GYN financial benchmarks
How does your ob-gyn practice compare? Key metrics cited to specialty association data and cross-checked against Sorso client engagements.

Data reflects 2024 reporting cycles where available, with 2023 data used when a newer survey has not yet been published.

KPIs specific to ob-gyn
| KPI | Benchmark | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Deliveries per Provider / Month | 12–20 (ACOG Practice Survey, 2024) | Monthly delivery volume per OB provider; global OB fees are a major revenue component |
| Global OB Fee Collection Rate | 85–92% (MGMA OB/GYN Cost & Revenue Survey, 2024) | Percentage of global obstetric fees actually collected; bundled billing creates leakage risk |
| Ultrasound Revenue / Month | $20K–$40K (ACOG Practice Survey, 2024) | Monthly revenue from in-office ultrasound services; high-margin ancillary revenue |
| GYN Surgery Revenue as % of Total | 20–35% (MGMA OB/GYN Cost & Revenue Survey, 2024) | Revenue from gynecological surgical procedures relative to total practice revenue; in-office procedures typically contribute 15–25% |
From Sorso
In the OB-GYN groups Sorso works with, global OB fee leakage is the quiet killer — practices holding global collection below 85% are typically losing 3–5% of total revenue to bundled-billing errors.
