Please help! Pt has commercial insurance and has a sking accident in Colorado. Patient comes back after surgery/vacation to his home and goes to his Dr. This Dr. wants to charge for a consult 99243 because the patient has come to him to check on his fracture. Also the Dr. says he knows the surgeon in Colorado is not going to submit his claim with a modifier 54. I am thinking we should code 99024/55 because it is during the global period. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
