Patient had an ulcer debrided done 7/10, came back on 7/20 and the doctor did basically the same thing, I'm confused what modifier I should use. 78 or 58, or should it just be a post-op visit? They were both done in office, if that will help.

Thanks in advance!
 
11042 was used both times, so no modifier needed! I wasn't thinking about the global times, just the time in general. Too early for this one, I think!

Thanks Mark!
