The Global Periods: What’s Included and What’s Not

This course provides healthcare professionals, coders, and billing specialists with a comprehensive understanding of the global surgical package and the global period.

Learning Objectives: 

• Define the global surgical package and identify which services are included and excluded.

• Differentiate between 0 day, 10 day, and 90 day global periods and recognize which procedures fall into each category.

• Document pre operative, intra operative, and post operative care accurately to meet compliance standards.
