Hello,

Can you code a post-op injection same knee? Would that not be pain management and be covered under the Global Period?

Thank you,
LLR
 
Yes, if the documentation indicates that the injection is being done for post-surgical pain management, and is being performed by the surgeon during the global period and does not involve a return trip to the OR, then it would be considered a part of the global period.
