Wiki 90 day global Procedure with billed Post OP Modifier?

[jmeyerrickf@tampabaymedicalbilling.com]

I am seeking out guidance for Post -OP Visit Billing (CMS1500); I have a Post OP Visit (99024) was billed with CPT 17520 (AgNO3) with a nonhealing wound T81.89XA.
The Initial Procedure 46060 (90 Global period).

What applicable modifier has you seen pay on the other listed procedures billed with 99024(00 RVUs)?

17520 is not a valid CPT. Perhaps you meant 17250?? Depending on what was performed and why, as well as carrier guidelines, a modifier might be applicable, or it might be included in the original surgery.
Medicare states included in the global surgical package is "All additional medical or surgical services the surgeon provides during the post-operative period because the complications don’t require additional trips to the operating room."
All my carriers follow Medicare guidelines, and an additional service due to a complication is not billable.
CPT guidelines differ. If your carriers consider this not included in the surgical package, you could consider -79.
