If a patient had surgery which has a 90 day post op period and the doctor wants to do a re-excision on the same area because of the margins would you just charge a post op visit or would you charge a low level evaluation with the visit prior to the re-excision. thank You
 
Cannot charge for post-op visit, or low evaluation unless unrelated to original procedure or diagnosis. (Modifier 24)
You can add modifier 58 (staged or related procedure, during post-op period) to the CPT for the procedure.
