Hello.... When billing a Pacer Insert and if there is a cath done the next day should a 79 modifier be placed on the cath because it is in the 90 day global period?
Did you ever find more information on this? There is an article in Healthcare Business Monthly that says there should be a modifier added to a cath done within 90 days of insertion of a Pacemaker.
