Nobody has responded on the E&M boards so hoping somebody could help me here.
A person had surgery and came back for his post-operative appointment within the global period. He was complaining of diarrhea so our surgeon did a direct admit into the hospital. Can we charge for this visit with an E&M charge even though it is within the post-op period?
Thanks for any help
