Our drs saw an in-patient and performed several procedures one being a hemorrhoidal banding. Unfortunatly there is a 10 day global. They also saw her two more times after that. What modifier would go on the subsequent visits. Any help is apprectiated

Global

Subsequent hospital visit (including discharge) following a procedure with a global period, are NOT separately reportable unless they are totally and completely unrelated to the procedure. The payment for the procedure includes the follow-up care.

Hope that helps
