Wiki Hospital discharges

[mudlark1]

Does anyone happen to know whether hospital discharges 99238, 99217 etc. are billable even if the patient is in global for a surgery? Do the usual rules of complications etc. apply? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this and any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you!

It is my understanding that you would not bill a discharge since it is within the 90 day global period.

That's what I think, too, but always nice to have a second opinion. Thank you!
