For patients who are not Medicare, who have complications requiring an in-office procedure during the global period, this should be billable, correct? But with what modifier? It is related, it is unplanned, but no return to the OR/procedure room.
This is what I have regarding non-medicare global:
CPT goes on to give a little guidance as to what typical postoperative follow up care would include:
?Follow-up care for therapeutic surgical procedures includes only that care which is usually a part of the surgical service. Complications, exacerbations, recurrence, or the presence of other disease or injuries requiring additional services should be separately reported.? [emphasis added]
Any thoughts? Please?
