Does anyone have any documentation to show there is NO global period in an ASC? I have an Ohio Medicaid plan denying claims for "global". Any assistance would be helpful.
Thank you
I believe it is on the CMS website (not very user friendly I'm afraid). When I looked it up a while back, the ASC's facility global period was the day of surgery, if you are coding for the physician it is the 0-10-90 global period. But this depends on which procedure you are doing. Hope this helps.

Thank you- I have been on that CMS website and never feel very "educated" when Im done - I need to find documentation to send to Medicaid for an appeal - I'll keep looking.
