Our system is creating the following edit and not allowing the charges to be submitted.
Procedure Code [99232] is within the global period of 90 days of History
Procedure Code [44120] performed on 07/31/2012. The diagnosis indicates it is for the
same condition. Please review to determine if a modifier is appropriate.
What modifier can be appended to the subsequent care code to allow the release of this edit.
I didn't think this needed a modifier since the patient is currently inpatient and if surgery of this magnitude is performed more than likely they would need immediate follow up care.
Please help!
