My provider did a spinal surgery and 4wks later the patient was back in the facility for lethargy and possible infection. There was no infection but the patient did have a seroma according to the MRI. Can my provider charge an inpatient service for the exam or is this included in the post op? Thanks for your assistance
 
Seroma's are very common after surgical procedures. Only an aspiration of the seroma can be charged within the global period.
