Hi
A patient is admitted for abdominal pain and the surgeon send the pt for additional study on the initial visit. Day 2 they made the decision to performed surgery on Day 2. We billed an initial visit on day 1 and a subsequent visit on day 2 with modifier 57 and the procedure. But the initial visit is editing stating it's included in the global period. Can we bill this out? Am I over thinking this?
Thank You
