RARC N525: Service Not Covered During Global Period

What This Means

The billed services fall within the global period of another procedure and are not separately payable. Review the date of service against recent surgeries or procedures with global periods. If the service is unrelated to the original procedure, resubmit with modifier 24 (unrelated E/M) or 79 (unrelated procedure) to indicate it is distinct from the global surgery.
