Wiki Post op in global period

[rich203]

Please help. I have a report with a wrist hand cock - up splint applied but this is during the global period post op for wrist cyst excision. Do I bill for the splint? Thank you.

Yes, the only thing you do not bill in the post op period is the related E & M visit and the first cast (when fracture fee was charged)
