I am reviewing our orthopedic surgeon code selection. He has a visit that he marked as a consultation however the dictated report did not specifically state it was a consultation visit so I know that code cannot be used. What I am wondering is when the patient comes back for surgery are we still allowed to use the post op global service code even though the initial visit will now be an office visit E/M instead of consult...I'm drawing a blank on this. (Hope this makes sense!)
