What is NOT reimbursable with a global surgery status indicator of 090?

In this context, understanding global surgery status indicators is crucial for accurate billing and reimbursement. A global surgery status indicator of 090 signifies that the surgical procedure has a global period of zero days. This means that the surgical procedure is considered to be completed on the day it is performed, and no postoperative follow-up visits or related services are included in the global fee.

E/M services on the day of the procedure are typically not reimbursable under a global surgery status indicator of 090 because any evaluation and management services provided on that day are considered part of the surgical procedure itself. Therefore, separate reimbursement for E/M services on the same day is not allowed.

In contrast, services such as E/M visits the day prior to the procedure or postoperative follow-up visits are relevant. While the specific follow-up services might not be reimbursable under this indicator, they can sometimes be billed separately depending on the circumstances. Therefore, it's accurate to conclude that E/M services on the same day as the procedure are not eligible for separate reimbursement under the global surgery status indicator of 090.
