Need some understanding in how to code the preop exam..
Provider (Otolaryngologist) sees a patient in his office for pre-op exam for schedule surgery of tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, which he is going to be the surgeon for the procedure.
Do I use an E/M to bill the pre-op?
or is there an internal way where the billers should know it should be included in the surgery since it is a 90 day global period.
Help please! :confused:
