what is the number one lost revenue in general surgery billing? A surgical period, or 90-day follow-up, is a global period that typically includes follow-up visits and services within the 90-day period, unless the modifier exceptions apply and are documented appropriately. Omit those exceptions, and a practice unwittingly loses the right to be reimbursed for it. General surgery billing and coding services need coders fluent in modifiers like 24 and 78, catching these exceptions case by case instead of defaulting to the simplest read of the global period rule.
