Wiki Global Period - inguinal hernia

[knperry]

Does the global period after surgery run 10, 60, and 90 days? How do you know what global period to use for each surgery? For example for a inguinal hernia repair, what would be the global period?

I have not seen 60 day globals, only 10- and 90-day. I find them on the Medicare Physicians Fee Schedule--Payment Policy Indicators.
Inguinal hernia is 90-day.
