what type of biopsy has a global period? most treatments are within the 10 day period of the sample being taken. I am a little confused as to what type of procedures in the global packageMost skin biopsies don't have global periods, so no modifier should be required for the treatment.
If the biopsy is one with a global period, and the treatment date is within 10 days of the date the sample was taken (not from when the results came back), then the modifier used will depend on the CPT code used to describe the treatment.
You'd need a 24, if it's an E/M, or 58 if it's a procedure code. Hope that helps!
