Provider see patient in hospital, has initial visit, followed by two subsequent visits, 4th visit physician now charges for the removal of tunneled cv cath.
Continues care of this patient, next visit is billed as a subsequent and now denied because within the 10day global for the 36589. Should we just bill a subsequent and not
the 36589? In this case the patient was seen 3 times after within the global period and all denied. If the documentation notes the removal and supports the E/M would this billing be appropriate?
The 36589 was reported separately with no E/M. So again what is the proper way to bill. Manager wasn't just bill a subsequent always for removal of cath.??????
