Wiki global periods

Patient has a device implant, comes back to the office for his 6week follow-up. At this time we also perform an EKG and a interogation and device check. Are these 2 services considered part of the global or are they billable services?Thank you to who ever can help.

I disagree. The office visit you wouldn't be able to bill for but the pacemaker/ICD check you can as well as EKG.

We bill for the ekg and the device check. If it is denied, I would appeal.
