English term
global period
Context:
Surgery: Surgical procedures are billed separately by doctors and the hospital. The doctor’s charge for the surgery includes the cost for any follow up treatment or visits within 90 days of the procedure, also known as the ‘global period’.
However hospitals must bill each date of service separately as there is no ‘global period.’
From the asker:
I understand: A global period is a period of time starting with a surgical procedure and ending some period of time after the procedure.
I'm looking for a close synonym, so I can translate into my mother tongue.
Is "total treatment time" a good answer?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

A global period is a period of time starting with a surgical procedure and ending some period of time after the procedure. Many surgeries have a follow-up period during which charges for normal post-operative care are bundled into the global surgery fee.
