Wiki Stent removal

[nabernhardt]

ok have a situation where dr did both the 50590 proced and the 52332 proced
and then patient came back in about a week later to do 52310 removal

the 52332 has O day global so can normally charge for the removal
however the 50590 has 90 day global so are we still able to charge for the 52310 and what modifier?

or due to the dr also performing the 50590 cant?

thanks

the 52310 should be billed with the 58 modifier for a staged procedure.
