If I have a patient that had bariatric surgery in August and has a PR Medical Nutrition Therapy visit code 97804 is billed; is this allowed, do I need add a modifier for payment or would this fall under the 90 day global services? I am working denials and denials are new to me. Thank you.

This service shouldn't be included in the global package. What is the exact denial reason or code on the remit for this service and which insurance company was this claim filed with.

There are many limitations on nutrition therapy services with most insurance companies so it is almost impossible to help you with your question without the specific denial reason code/message and which insurance company the claim was submitted to.
