10060 Global Period
So we have a physician that saw a patient and preformed a 10060, 3 days later he had the patient come back for a follow up. Can the e/m be billed. The reason I am asking this is the 10060 does have a global period, but when you look in the manual it does not relate to the CMS 100-4, 12, 40.2 billing requires for global surgeries.

10-day global period
10060 has a 10-day global period. We would not charge for a follow-up visit performed within this time frame.
Hope that helps. F Tessa Bartels, CPC, CEMC

that is what I would think, but the book doesn't make it clear. Is the 10-day global period associated with other procedures associated with the surgery. Or is it including all post op care as well?
I know I am pushing this, but if you can bill an E/M for post op care I am definitively for it when it comes to the 10060.

I do know that, but if it is for the same dx. It is the Procedural coding expert and in front of every code set they provide a list of the CMS publications that pertain to that specific coding set so 10040-10180. Then it list the correct coding policy, a required physician presence, and s&i multiple procedure reduction, but does not list the global surgery package or the billing requirements for global surgeries which is a part of the next coding set 11000-11012.
