Patient is in hospital in a postoperative period but surgeon is still visiting the patient to follow with orders for TPN. Is there any E/M code that covers ordering TPN for a patient that is in a post-op?:
 
Global period

If the visits are occuring during the global period for the procedure then they are included in the surgical package and are NOT separately billable.

If you are outside the global period, then you would use the appropriate subsequent hospital visit based on documentation.

Hope that helps.
