Patient was seen on the 5th for consultation. Surgeon and patient make the decision for surgery and schedule it for the 10th. On the 9th, the patient comes in for an unrelated problem. Since the 9th will be in the global surgical package, it's going to get denied without a modifier but -57 wouldn't be appropriate because decision was made prior and -24 would be appropriate because that's only for post-op. Suggestions?
