patient had two surgeries., The 2nd surgery, a related procedure that required a return to the OR- which I added modifier 58. In between the two surgeries there was an E/M. My question is if the 2nd procedure was planned is the E/M billable and not included in the global period(99024)?
and to go one step further, in the case where the 2nd procedure was not planned and modifier 78 applied, would the E/M in between the surgeries be billable, and not included in the global period?
