If a patient has a cardiac procedure for afib and has comorbidities such as HTN and/or DM, etc., can the provider bill for the post-op visits with a -24 modifier if they are also responsible for monitoring the comorbidities? This would apply for both the hospital stay as well as follow up visits in the office. Global rules state that treatment of the underlying condition is separately billable as well as unrelated care so I'm wondering if the above scenario would apply.
Thank you for your help,
Sue
