I have a question: Patient was seen by another physician because her doctor was out on vacation she I&D a abscess, the patient came back into the office for a follow-up visit with her own doctor 8 days later. I know the global time period is 10 days for an I&D, but my question is if she saw a different doctor, could that doctor charge for the follow-up visit? Or is any follow-up within the global period a no charge for any physician in the family practice group?
