I have a patient that was seen in the ER for RUQ pain and abnormal finding on CT. The patient was admitted to the hospitalist. The hospitalist ordered a consult with the Surgeon. The patient was seen and decided to see if the patient improves. The next day the patient was seen and the decision was made to do surgery. I realize there is a 90 day global period starting the day before surgery. My question is can I bill the visit the day before surgery if it was prior to the decision made to do surgery.

I billed the following:

11/23/18 99225 (this visit is being denied) Would this still be considered inclusive?
11/24/18 99225-57
11/24/18 44970
