I was reading in the global surgery packet on the CMS MLN booklet from December 2023, indicates that if the patient has Medicare, they require the CPT code 99024 to be reported for postoperative visits. Is this still true?

Yes, but there are only certain states it is mandatory per the CMS MLN article published in December 2023, when you provide a global service and see that patient during the global period you are supposed to bill CPT 99024. The reference is found here: https://www.cms.gov/files/document/mln907166-global-surgery-booklet.pdf
Practitioners must report post-operative E/M visits using CPT code 99024 if they: ● Practice in a group of 10 or more practitioners in 1 of these 9 states: ● Florida ● Kentucky ● Louisiana ● Nevada ● New Jersey ● North Dakota ● Ohio ● Oregon ● Rhode Island NOTE: You’re exempt from required reporting if your practice has less than 10 practitioners, but we encourage you to report if possible.
