Global Period Denial in Medical Billing
Global period denial occurs when a claim for services provided during the global period of a procedure is rejected because the services should have been included in the initial payment.
Global Period Denial in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, if a provider attempts to bill for services that are covered by the global fee, the claim will be denied. The insurance company considers these services part of the overall procedure and will not issue additional payment.
For example, a surgeon’s office might receive a global period denial when attempting to bill for a post-operative visit that occurred within the global period of the surgery.
