Sick of trying figure out if you'll actually be paid for follow up services?
Look no further.
Just drop the CPT here it spits out the global period!
How does this impact your billing?
Global Periods are defined as the period in time you cannot bill for related services...so expect to potentially not be paid for office visits, related procedures, suture removals etc.
This DOES NOT mean nothing will get paid. Consider the applicability of modifiers 58, 78, 79.
