Good Morning,
The patient underwent a TURP and is in the global period. The provider is billing a 51736 urine flow measurement and 51798 US Urine capacity during the global period. The documentation states a routine follow up and that the patient is satisfied with voiding pattern and flow.

Would the 51736 and 51798 be inclusive in the global period? The 3 Dx are:
Z48.816 – F/U up after surgery
N40.1 – Benigh prostate hyperplasia
R39.15 – Urgency of urination
There is also an additonal EM with the reason being the urgency of urination.
I am new to urology and would like an opinion. Are these additional procedures included in followup after the original procedure?
Thanks!
