I need some opinions for this scenerio:
My doc did 2 surgeries on a pt-01/14/09 on the rt knee and 02/09/09 for the lt. We have a follow-up visit on 04/27/09 that addresses both knees. We billed an office visit with the mod 24 because the rt knee is out of the global from 01/14/09-ins is denying saying it is global.
Is this correct? I'm on the fence...yes a new global started on 020909, but it is on the other side of the body and the foloow-up shoould be allowed with the mod is my opinion.
Thanks
