When a physician OUTSIDE of our group does surgery on a patient that has a 90 day global period, and a PHYSICIAN within our group is on call for the weekend and rounding on the same patient. How are we supposed to be billing for this service? The encounter is only for follow up after surgery, and the patient is not having any other problems.
Previously, we were billing for this. BUT I am starting to look at it from a patient's standpoint...if I'm having surgery and it's supposed to have a 90 global period, then why am I being billed for this service another physician provided? I never chose that physician.
