re: G0305
The wound check for post-op visit cannot be billed (global period)
Why are you using G0305??
The E/M for the thyroid condition does not show moderate complexity MDM (99214). The appropriate level of E/M is based on medical necessity and complexity plus a detailed history, physical. Look to exact documentation to support code level and place modifier 24 on E/M for medical condition(s).
