A consultation rendered by a neurologist for a non-emergency hospital in-patient. A consultation is an assessment rendered following a written request from a referring physician, nurse practitioner, or dental surgeon who, in light of their professional knowledge of the patient, requests the opinion of a specialist competent to give advice in this field because of the complexity, seriousness, or obscurity of the case, or because another opinion is requested by the patient or patient's representative. The service includes all elements necessary to prepare a written report to the referring practitioner, including a review of relevant data and a general, specific, or medical specific assessment. A copy of the written request must be kept in the medical record, and it must identify the patient, the referring practitioner, and the consultant, and set out the reason for the referral. Failure to meet these requirements may result in the service fee being reduced to that of a lesser assessment.
