Need some help with this scenario: Patient undergoes a total hip replacement, and within that global period there is a mechanical complication of the joint prosthesis, is an E&M billable for the preop. exam?

Thanks!

No, sorry. The Pre-Op will be bundled in the Global.

Thanks, Jenna. That is exactly what I thought too- a co-worker was trying to tell me otherwise and I wanted to double check myself.
