I am new to cardiology billing. I am looking for direction regarding Global Surgery period. At the previous place I was employed the patient was seen in that time frame and claims were paid. At my new position no claims will pay.
I think that the Dx code would factor in the the claim and when the visit occurs during the global period.
Can anyone advise if there are some general rules in these cases. Typically the patient is treated with a pacemaker a week or two later the patient comes in to have a follow up with an EKG.

What services are you billing for? Was your previous place also cardiology and related to pacemakers? I believe you can bill for pacer checks and EKGs but not OVs.
