Provider did an I&D for an abscess and two days later pt came in with another abscess and another E&M and I&D was done. How do I bill this? Do I use modifier 24 or 79 or both?
 
Need a little more information. Some I&Ds have a global period. Was the second abscess a separate site or the same site?
 
Second abscess I&D was performed right above the first abscess on the hip/buttock area. I coded it 10060. Is there a global period for this code? If so, does that mean that I cannot bill for the second procedure?
