Hello Everyone I was hoping you guys could help me out. I have a doctor that is wanting to charge for rounding on a patient he has in house even though the patient is post op during this stay. And he was the surgeon.
He states he is wearing 2 hats one as his surgeon and one as his primary. He stated the global doesn't apply when he is rounding for his DM that is uncontrolled and can charge. I told
him I didn't think it worked that way. Yes, his DM is uncontrolled and had complications that is why he did an amputation. Does anyone know of a modifier for these kinds of scenario or does it fall under the 90 day global? Need something to go back to the Doctor with. Thanks!!
