Our ENT clinic also does surgery on patients.
Here's the dilemma: Our Dr's will first see the pt, decide to do surgery, and have the pt come back for a pre-op visit several days before surgery (the same Dr that decided to do surgery is the one doing the pre-op visit). This "pre-op" visit has been billed out as a regular e/m visit (level 3 to 4).
Should this visit be separately billable when the surg has a 90 day global? Under what circumstances would this extra visit be billable?
