I have a question about the global surgery package. Let's say the patient had a diagnosis of breast cancer and Dr Smith performed the surgery and the patient comes in 2 weeks after surgery for a consultation for chemo with Dr Jones who has the same tax id # as Dr Smith, the dx of breast cancer is billed for Chemo Consult. Should the Chemo Consultation visit be considered included in the global surgery package or can it be billed seperately?

I would double check the article in May's Coding Edge magazine page 29 for CMS and CPT guidelines regarding global surgical packaging. I hope this helps.
