Wiki Billing question about compression stockings

[helene73]

Hi

I have a question I want to know if compression stockings are considered global when given to the patient a week after surgery. The CPT code is 36478 and the stocking codes are A6530 and A6540. Is it global or should they be paid for the stockings as well as the procedure seperately?

Thanks,
Helene
