Below are information that you need to understand and remember; many are still confused with this: Global period is the day before surgery, the day of the surgery and the number of days following the surgery as indicated on the MPFSDB. Often, a major surgery has a 90 day post operative period and a minor surgery has either a zero or a 10 day post operative period. A preoperative period is the day before the surgery or the day of surgery. When an E/M service resulting in the initial decision to perform major surgery is furnished during the post-operative period of another, unrelated procedure, then the E/M service must be billed with both the 24 and 57 modifiers.
