I am billing physician hospital charges. My physician admits a patient to hospital inpatient on 2-3-12 and proceeds to do a D & C (or any procedure that has a 10 day global) on 2-3-12. Then on 2-4-12 my physician discharges the patient from his inpatient hospital stay. Would I bill out the discharge for 2-4-12 or would it be included in the 10 day global period. I know if there would be "other diagnoses" I could bill the discharge but what if it is only the DX that the procedure was performed and I have no other diagnoses? Any guidance would be so helpful.
Thanks in advance!
