Our doc does total ankles... Post op there is a cast removal and another application - that is included in global fee ???
Pt had wound healing issues... so had to come in 2 weeks later for ANOTHER removal of cast (29705 & wound exam which required special medical honey application A6250) to wound AND another cast application (29405). Same procedure done another 2 weeks later. Diag Codes: aftercare (V54.81) and non healing wound (998.83)
Our claims are being denied after the 1st post op visit for everything ! I didn't use 58 modifier... is THAT the problem or am I NOT to bill for anything ? B/c of the wound healing - this case requires continual casting, etc.. that I explained above .
