Section 510.615 - Waiver of certain post-operative billing restrictions
(a)Waiver to permit certain services to be billed separately during the 90-day post-operative global surgical period.

(b)Services to which the waiver applies. Up to 9 post-discharge home visits, including those related to recovery from the surgery, per CJR episode may be billed separately under Part B by the physician or nonphysician practitioner, or by the participant hospital to which the physician or nonphysician practitioner has reassigned his or her billing rights.
(c)Other requirements. All other Medicare rules for global surgery billing during the 90-day post-operative period continue to apply.
