a couple of our surgeons (spine surgeons) is taking over care of patients from an orthopedic surgeon who is retiring. If the ortho. phy. performed a surgery and one of our surgeons assisted, the patient comes in for continued care due to the ortho. surgeon is retiring before the 90 day global period, would the be considered an established patient. I'm thinking yes.
Also, if the ortho surgeon performed a procedure w/90 day global without the assistance of one of our spine surgeon and the ortho. surgeon transfers care to one of our physicans, would this be charged as a new patient or consult. NOT SURE!!
Thanks for any help!
