i know the rule is "dont bill for post op follow up during global period"
but....does that mean, literally dont make the claim?
or make the claim with a modifier acknowledging it wont be paid?

This link is for the Medicare Learning Network booklet on Global Surgery. See page 13 for Post-Operative Billing Period. (There's a lot of other helpful information in other sections too - I'd bookmark or keep this booklet handy if you're going to be coding or billing for global surgery.)
