The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has posted additional information about global surgery data collection requirements. Physicians and other healthcare providers in FL, KY, LA, NV, NJ, ND, OH, OR and RI will be required to submit information-only claims for services provided within the global period for specific procedures with a 10 or 90 day global period. CMS has posted background information and the list of codes for which this reporting will be required at https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/PhysicianFeeSched/Global-Surgery-Data-Collection-.html
Anesthesia codes are not impacted since the global concept is not applicable to anesthesia care. The list includes some codes of interest to pain medicine including:
62264 Epidural lysis on single day
63650 Implant neuroelectrodes
63685 Insrt/redo spine n generator
64555 Implant neuroelectrodes
