Does anybody know where I can find out what is considered the global period for specific codes?

They are published in the RBRVS book. You can get this book from the same supplier you get your CPT, ICD9 and HCPCS books from. My Medicare carrier posts a comma-delineated file on their website that has the same information. It's hard to read, but you don't have to pay for it! Here is the link...

Hi,
I created an RVU thing that I use at work for Globals. I put it on the site called: "RVUs with a Twist" - it's just a few highlighted lines from the RVU spreadsheet from CMS with the RVU status indicator meanings on it.
Has the Global days, bilateral status indicators & a few other coding things, but I took away all the RVU's & conversion factor information. It's just meant to find the Globals & other things.

Scroll down for "RVU with a Twist". Oh, and above that are direct links to CMS RVU information if you need it.
Hope this helps!
