Wiki Vein ablation -global question

[dls]

My doctor who is a intervention cardiologist started doing a lower extremity vein ablation in the office (code 36475). We have our patients meet the guidelines that are required by their insurance to get the procedure approved to be done. My question we are doing alot of Lower Extremity dopplers before and after and then there are follow ups with doctor. How do I find out what and if any of this is considered global.

Since the ablation codes don't have global periods, I think you'll be fine.

You'll want to make sure there is medical necessity to support the ablation.
