Wiki global surgical pacakage

[JayalakshmiF]

We have been reimbursing for X Rays done during the post op visits in office during global period. My understanding is that " Diagnostic procedures such as x-rays, ultrasound or other imaging services, laboratory, or durable medical equipment." are not included in the Global Surgery package. We got a claim today where in they have claimed only Technical Component for the X ray and not the complete x ray procedure ( both tech + professional component). They say that during post op office visits they only have been billing the TC components as professional component is the part of the global package.

I hope I have made my self clear enough ?! Can you advise if the professional component of x ray is part of the Global package and only technical part is not during post op visits in office ?

Hi,

Diagnostic procedures such as x-rays, ultrasound or other imaging services, laboratory, or durable medical equipment are never included as a part of Global surgical package.

The claim what you had encountered may be a carrier specific guideline.

Hope this helps.
