Yesterday in a meeting with our general surgeons the question was raised as to the post-operative period for a diagnostic laparoscopy. I advised them that this has a 10 global period.
Today, I got an email from one of the surgeons in which he indicates that he thought for "non-treating" procedure where the underlying problem is not addressed or corrected he thinks it is appropriate to bill for a visit during the post-operative period. I have been unable to find any information supporting this. I have considered that possibly this was how it used to be and that the post-operative period may have changed.
Any help will be appreciated.
