We are an urgent care facility who saw patient initially for fractured ankle w/o manipulation, just casted, etc. (27786 CPT code). Our intent was to treat the fracture here for the global period. However, when pt returned in 6 weeks for followup care and x-ray, x-ray revealed nonhealing, and provider referred this Medicare patient onto ortho surgeon. Does this complication and change in plans for 90 day global care by us, change how I need to bill our services to Medicare using a corrected claim/redetermination to casting code 29515? Thank you for your help!
