CodingPregunta 20 de 100
The 'global surgical package' concept in CPT means that the payment for a surgery generally includes:
a.Only the incision itself
b.The surgeon's fee plus all unrelated future care for a year
c.Nothing beyond the operating room time
d.The operation plus related preoperative and normal postoperative care for a defined period
Explicación
A surgical package bundles the procedure with typical preoperative evaluation and routine postoperative follow-up during a defined global period. Services within that period that are routine follow-up are not billed separately. Care unrelated to the surgery, or a return to the operating room, may be reported with appropriate modifiers.
