HI all,

I'm a fairly new coder and am auditing an operative report for a Maxillary (left) with biopsy a 31256 and it is proper to not code a 31237 additionally, correct?

Also, does this surgery qualify for a global 90 day period? I think it does. Office Follow up and office procedures, ie 31256 same as the surgery in hospital, and 31267 in office.

This may be a stupid question. If the patient is self pay it doesn't mean coding guidelines don't apply, correct? I don't think so but I continue to second guess myself.

I hope I am making sense.

Thank you!
Sandra
