A friend of mine works for a vascular surgery practice and one of the surgeons she works for keeps trying to bill 99234-99236 when he discharges a patient he operated on. She tries to explain to him why he can't do that because of the global period but he says that he can because, well, the codes are right there in the CPT book.
She and I both know that he cannot do this but neither one of us can find CMS documentation that backs that up other than the general guideline that the global period includes the discharge summary.
Can anyone help with this one? Thank you!
