My physician is billing for a surgery with a 54 modifier and he saw the pt one day after. We are co-managing for the rest of the 90 day global with an outside provider. How do I bill for the one day post-op?
You can not split up the post-op period for billing purposes. The outside provider is going to be paid for the full post-operative period, so it would not be appropriate for your provider to submit additional charges for that service. I would suggest either making an arrangement with that provider to reimburse your physician for that one visit, or else just make it a no-charge visit.
