If a surgeon acts as both neurosurgeon and neurovascular surgeon:
Neurovascular performs coiling of SAH-zero day global
Same Neurosurgeon performs craniotomy to evacuate the hematoma-90 day global
Are all subsequent visits part of the global period? My thought is, yes, however, my surgeon is questioning this. Her rationale is, if the coiling was done by a neurovascular surgeon and, craniotomy done by different neurosurgeon, subsequent visits would be billable for the neurovascular surgeon. As she is acting as both, she's questioning whether or not she can bill for subsequent visits. The diagnosis code is the same for both surgeries. Taxonomy code is the same for both specialties. Any thoughts are appreciated!
