We had a Medicare patient with a diagnosis of breast cancer go in for a lumpectomy, upon receiving the pathology report several days later, the patient's margins were positive and had to be scheduled for a return to the operating room.
My question, can we charge for a office visit with a 24 modifier or would it be considered a post op since she was already diagnosed with breast cancer??
If we can use the 24 modifier, what dx code would I use?
Thanks!
