When doing a staged procedure, does the post op period start over with the staged procedure or would the post op period end 90 days from the initial procedure?

The global period restarts with the subsequent procedure, and the surgeon should receive 100 percent of the allowable reimbursement on both the first and the subsequent procedures.

Appropriate multiple procedure payment rules apply if multiple procedures are performed at the subsequent session.

Thank you. That is what I thought but have been told otherwise.
