This course walks you through coding for the rest of 2026 — and into the world that comes after.

For thirty years, 59400 and the other global maternity codes have been the backbone of how midwives bill maternity care. On January 1, 2027, they're gone — the biggest restructure of maternity billing in three decades. BfM's Transition to a Post-59400 World is your guide through it. The course starts where you are right now: the 2026 transition period, ACOG's phased calendar, and the practical billing decisions you need to make this year. New lessons are added as official guidance is released, so the course keeps pace with the change instead of waiting for it to settle. Whether this shift helps or hurts your practice depends a great deal on how you prepare — Billing for Midwives is here to help guide your practice to the best outcome possible.
