I know if the decision for surgery was made in the office, and the pt is scheduled a few days later,an additional E/M can't be billed the day of surgery. What if the prodecure being done is non-surgical and doesnt have a global period? For example,a cardioversion.
Can a E/M servcie be billed for this outpt procedure when the decsion was made in the offcie (no global period) for this test?

Thanks!
 
Probably not. What would the medical neccessity be? Is it just a pre-op visit? Even if there is no global period, that "procedure" still has some work value built in for the normal pre-procedure work/visit.
