my internal med dr does a pre op for a pt in need of knee surgery...after pt has had surgery with another dr, patient comes back to my IM doctor and my doc gives reason for visit as post op f/u from surgery???????????????? I just fail to see medical necessity. |
To be able to bill for post op the surgeon must transfer care to your provider in writing. Then you use the surgical procedure code the surgeon used and append the 55 modifier, and a V code for post op.
If the patient decides they do not wish to follow up with the surgeon, you will need yo bill the patient.
