If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.
when a physician performs a surgical procedure, he may be subject to 10 or 90 postoperative period. Does the same hold true for hospital clinics.
Example
Patient comes into our amb surg clinic for bone spur removal, the physician tells the patient to come back in five days to clinic for follow-up. The physician is subject to a 90 day postoperative period. Can the hospital bill for the visit with an office visit code (99211-215) or (99024).
Can a hospital clinic get paid for a visit that falls within the postoperative period.
