If a patient has a G-tube placement(43653) and later comes into the office for a nurse check. During that visit the nurse noticed that granulation tissue has developed around the G-tube, so the office decides to cauterization the granulation tissue. Isn't the cauterization of the granulation tissue included within the global period(90 days)?

Just wanted a second opinion.
