Can you bill for a Office visit during a global period?

No, typically you cannot bill for an office visit during a global period related to a surgical procedure. The global period is intended to encompass all related follow-up care and services, which means that any routine visits or complications arising from the surgery are included in the initial surgical fee. However, if the office visit is for a completely unrelated issue or a significant complication that requires separate evaluation and management, it may be billable. Always check specific payer guidelines for exceptions.
