I know -24 mod is "E&M for new ailment during post op global period". I work in Urology, so we see a lot of kidney/ureteral stones. Some procedures have a 90 day global (ESWL - 50590 and PCNL 50080/50081 are two that come to mind). If the op note states the stone is dusted/gone/etc. but patient returns during the global period with a new stone, that's a new ailment, right?

Thanks!
