No you cannot use the 58 modifier on an office level it is for procedures only, no you may not charge a post op encounter just because another physician is seeing the patient in the same practice . ALSO just to be clear if the reason for the surgery resolved with the surgery then you do not code it you use V codes for follow up or aftercare.
