Wiki Cast w/in 90day global

[coders_rock!]

Hey guys,

My doctor performed a major procedure with a 90 day global. The patient came back in 2 weeks where the doc applied a cast. Can he do this?

Yes...cast applications can be billed with modifier 58 during the 90-day global period.

I emailed you privately here on the AAPC website with additional new information I have been working with.
