G0288

Date: Feb 6, 2018

Question:

For G0288 surgical planning for vascular surgery of aorta, can the code also be billed for post-op follow-up treatment? My understanding is that the code is for surgical planning only, but the facility where I work is using it for follow-ups to TAVRs and AAA repairs where no surgery is planned. Is that allowed?
