Not quite sure what you asking..i work for a urogyn and when he does these procedure,pt. follow up in six week in the off for their post op visit which is included in the global fee..so no charge goes out to the insurnace..now if there follow up is unrelated to the surg then a E/M visit is billed with a modifier 24..for example..his patient will continue care with PT treatment, in which we bill 99212 mod 24 along with 51784 w/mod.58..i hope this answers your questions
