Wiki Post op/global period Question

[calorom2]

A patient came in for a PET during the global period after having stent placement (cpt 37215) to determine if the patient was benefiting. Can the office visit to follow up on the PET results be billed with modifier 24 or would it still be considered global to the stent placement and billed as a post op visit?

Thank you!

The E&M would be standard post-op thus falls under global.

Thank you! Just needed someone else to confirm as I'm meeting resistance on this!
