I don't know why my brain is not working today so I'm asking for a little help on this one.
Pt. was seen on 1/11/13 for a proctocolectomy (90 day global).
He comes back on 3/13/13 complaining of perineal pelvic pressure & dysuria.
A & P: Pouchoscopy (flexible sigmoidoscopy) performed in clinic shows no dehiscence & no pouchitis. Continue Cipro & Flagyl x 7 additional days.
Is the E/M or scope billable?
I don't think so because it's still in the Global Period. No new issues were discovered. The scope was done in the clinic (minor procedure room which is included in the global)
Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.
