C180 is a special neurology consultation for a non-emergency hospital in-patient. It is subject to the same conditions as A180. A consultation is an assessment rendered following a written request from a referring physician, nurse practitioner, or dental surgeon. The consultant's opinion is requested because of the complexity, seriousness, or obscurity of the case, or because another opinion is requested by the patient. A special consultation is rendered when a consultant provides all the appropriate elements of a regular consultation and is required to devote a minimum of 75 minutes exclusively to the consultation with the patient. The calculation of the 75-minute minimum excludes time devoted to any other service or procedure for which an amount is payable in addition to the consultation. This service includes all common and specific elements of an assessment as outlined in the Schedule of Benefits (-).

Referral requiredFrom: Physician, NursePractitioner, DentalSurgeon

A copy of the written request for the consultation, signed by the referring physician, nurse practitioner or dental surgeon must be kept in the consulting physician's medical record. In a hospital where common medical records are maintained, the written request may be contained on the common medical record.

The request must identify the consultant by name, the referring physician, nurse practitioner or dental surgeon by name and billing number, and the patient by name and health number.

The written request must set out the information relevant to the referral and specify the service(s) required.

The physician must record on the patient's permanent medical record the time when the insured service started and ended.
