Buried global-package carve-outs and modifier denials cost Women's Health practices recoverable revenue every day.
Women's Health runs episode-based obstetrics, high-volume well-woman visits, and complex gynecologic surgery side by side, global-package carve-outs, modifier-25 rejections, and missing surgical auth. Manual billing teams catch a fraction of the errors. Ember catches all of them.

Where Women's Health revenue leaks
The denial patterns Ember was built for
Women's Health revenue spans episode-based obstetrics, high-volume well-woman visits, and complex gynecologic surgery, and each carries its own denial trap. Buried carve-outs, modifier-25 rejections, and missing surgical auth compound into systematic underpayment. Ember closes each gap.
01 · Global OB package
Carve-out and split-care antepartum visits buried in the global fee.
The global obstetric package bundles routine antepartum, delivery, and postpartum care, but transferred, early-ended, or complicated pregnancies should be carved out and antepartum visits counted individually for split care. Bill the global when you shouldn't and you bury services the package would otherwise pay separately. Ember tracks each episode and bills the right way.
2027 maternity billing guide59400 · 59510 · 59425 · 5942602 · Preventive + problem
Same-day well-woman and problem visits denied on modifier 25.
When a well-woman exam also addresses a clinical problem, a preventive code pairs with a problem E/M under modifier 25, but payers routinely deny one of the two when documentation or the modifier doesn't hold up. Each denial drops a fully earned service. Ember validates modifier 25 against the note so both visits are paid.

Surgical bundling errors and missing pre-auth on procedures.
Hysterectomy, laparoscopy, and other gynecologic surgery carry bundling edits, global periods, and prior-authorization requirements that vary by payer. A missing auth or a bundled add-on turns a high-dollar procedure into a denial or an underpayment. Ember secures auth up front and applies the correct surgical edits before submission.

Appeal downstream.
Two workflows do most of the work for Women's Health practices. The first prevents denials before they happen. The second recovers the ones that slip through.
Pre-bill audit
Catch the missing modifier before the claim leaves.
Ember reviews every encounter against coding standards, payer policy, and your contracts. Modifier-25 gaps, global OB miscounting, and surgical bundling errors are flagged before submission.

The full revenue cycle
From eligibility to adjudication. Covered.
Audit and appeals are the workhorses, but Ember protects Women's Health revenue at every stage of the cycle.
Eligibility Verification
Confirms active coverage, maternity benefits, and preventive-visit eligibility before the visit, and flags coverage gaps before they become billing problems.
Prior Authorization
Identifies which surgeries, imaging, and procedures require pre-auth, generates the required documentation, and submits through payer portals, before scheduling.
AI Medical Coding
Reviews 100% of encounters, global OB, preventive + problem visits, and gynecologic surgery, against national standards and payer rules before claims submit.
Pre-bill Audit
Predicts and prevents denials before claims go out, catching modifier-25 gaps, antepartum miscounts, and surgical bundling before they generate write-offs.
Denial Management
Full appeal lifecycle for every Women's Health denial type, modifier, bundling, medical necessity, and auth failure, tracked to adjudication.
Underpayment Recovery
Parses contracts to model what each visit, episode, and procedure should pay, then surfaces line-item underpayments at scale.
