I am needing a little clarification... I have a patient that came in for a fracture to the left radius/ulna.. PT came in for follow-up (and this is during the global period) and is complaining of wrist pain, same wrist (LEFT side) and now is being diagnosed with Osteoarthritis to the same wrist and carpal tunnel. Can the Dr. bill and 'unrelated' E/M with a 24 modifier?
I am thinking that it would be included in global given that it is on the same wrist? Or am I wrong in thinking that?
Any help/advise is greatly APPRECIATED...
Thanks!
