I have an admin who is pushing some of the coders to find a way to bill for "pre-op" visits. The admin is under the impression that there is a legitimate way to do so. I have not heard anything like this and would like to hear from anyone who has "found a legitimate way" to bill for pre-op visits so I can understand where the admin is coming from.

Personally, the pre-op visit is included with the AMA & CMS global surgical package, so this does not sound at all correct to me.
