Hi.
I have a new physician in my practice who refuses to use any fracture care codes because they have a 90 day global period. He says that they're not a surgical procedure and he makes more money billing out the E&M and casting codes seperately than he does using fracture care codes (which is probably the point of fracture care codes, actually). I think this is unbundling, but how do I prove that to my physician (assuming it's true)?
Thanks,
Debby
