I have a patient that had surgery with a 90 day global period. Within the global period, he had another surgery that also is a 90 day global. Months later, the first global has ended, but is the 2nd global still in effect? The doctor is doing a follow up, Both surgeries were for the same thing (kidney stones). A co-worker thinks since the follow up is for the same DX, we can bill and be paid because the original 90 global has expired. Any thoughts???
Thanks :confused:

also certain procedures have different global periods always good to check to see. but yes you are global to your most recent surgery.
