OK. Patient comes in for surgery that has a 90 day global period. The surgeon discharges the patient a few days after surgery. Medicare denies the "Hospital Discharge" stating that this is nothing more than "Routine post-op care" which is included in the global surgical package. I cannot find anything that addresses this issue.
Does Medicare not cover the discharge after surgery?
Thanks.
