Global Period for PRP
Question: I am confused about the global period for CPT code 67228 Panretinal photocoagulation. Has this changed from 90 days?
Answer: Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage plans have reduced the global period for a PRP laser to 10 days. Commercial plans may not have adopted this new global period, so you will need to confirm with each commercial payer.
