Wiki Physician billing for Inpatient Surgery

[diadan2920]

Are you supposed to bill for E&M (99221 etc) when they do a surgery or is that considered part of the surgical package?

If the 99221 was the decision for surgery, then you can bill it with a modifier 57. Otherwise, DO NOT bill because it is part of the global surgical package.
