When a patient presents for a wart removal and comes back 2 or 3 days later and has the same procedure again - is this considered part of the global or a new procedure? The same with and I&D. If they come back and another I&D is performed instead of just a wound check/dressing change - is this a new procedure or part of the global?
We have 4 coders in our office and part of us think it is still included in global even though the procedure is being done again and part think another procedure should be billed out with a 76 modifier.
