I need some advise- 17day or so newborn comes in on 1/23/14 and MD performs a 17250- the umbilical cord was bleeding- child also lost weight so it was billed as a 99213 and 59-17250

Pt came back today today for the same procedure- do i bill it again?
it was still bleeding.-
I think that it falls under global. How would handle this.

CPT code 17250 has 0 global days so you can report it again.

Question I have is why did you use the 59 modifier on the 01/23/14 visit?

I would have billed the Evaluation and Management service 99213 with a 25 modifier on it and billed the 17250 with no modifier that day.
