I am in disagreement with a provider over the reporting of IN-OFFICE removal of implants (20670 OR 20680) during the global period. I am under the impression that when you are performing this service in the office, it is included in the global package. When you perform it in a hospital setting, it is payable with modifier 58 or 78, depending on the particulars of the case.
He feels that it should be payable no matter the place of service and he states that there is NO official guideline that states it is only payable in a hospital setting.
So I ask.. is there an "official" guideline that states it should not be reported when performed in an office setting that I can provide as reference?
Thank you!
