Hello,
Very frequently with my docs patients will have a combination of a septoplasty and a FESS. I am seeing a volume of patients being billed established patient office visits with a 24 modifier, and the dx codes are for the FESS. These visits are taking place within the 90 day global of the septoplasty, and yet they are not mentioning this procedure in the note.
I am wondering if they really don't require post-op care for a septoplasty, or they are trying to get around the global. Any help would be appreciated.
