1. Surgical procedure with 0 to 10 follow-up days that may be considered by third-party payers to be part of the surgical package or Medicare global package for a primary surgical service. It cannot be billed separately from the primary operative procedure. 2. Medical procedure that takes 5 minutes or less and involves relatively little decision-making once the need for the operation is determined (e.g., simple sutures, chest tubes, débridements).
