I'm only 4 months into Cardiology coding, so I have still have a lot of questions. This time my question is this: Is is appropriate to bill for a pacemaker check during the 90 day global period following the insertion? I would code the pacer check with a -58 modifier since patient was expected to return for cardiologist to check the pacer after 2 weeks. Am I correct? Thank you any help.
