Well I have spent the last 45 minutes reading the portion related to global periods and how they are going to phase them out starting with 10 day global periods in 2017 and 90 in 2018.
Final 2015 Medicare physician fee schedule rule released, no more global periods....
It appears that we are going to have to start submitting regular E/M codes for each post-op visit when they do this. They are going to have to meet the same guideline requirements as all other E/M services as it does not appear they are going to create a new code or codes to represent these services.
I must admit to be caught off guard by this one. Their logic makes sense, I'm just worried about the fall out and thought I would share.
