Pt. was admitted on 10/04/2011 by PCP. Dr. Z(OB/GYN) consulted patient on 10/05/2011, surgery was done on 10/07/2011, pt. was rounded from 10/08/2011-10/14/2011. Pt. has Medicare. Can I bill for rounds? Is cpt 58180 for surgery correct?

The rounds can be billed with codes for Subsequent Hospital Care code range 99231-99233. Most of these codes may not be reimbursed as may be included in the postop global period of 58180.
But, if any of the round includes care for any unrelated problem, then can be definitely reimbursed if billed with modifier 24.
