Physicians bill for management of immunosuppressive therapy using the office or subsequent
hospital visit codes that describe the services furnished. If the physician who is managing the
immunotherapy is also the transplant surgeon, he or she bills these visits with modifier “-24”
indicating that the visit during the global period is not related to the original procedure if the
physician also performed the transplant surgery and submits documentation that shows that the
visit is for immunosuppressive therapy.
