A special anaesthetic consultation rendered to a non-emergency hospital in-patient.
A limited consultation for acute pain management rendered by an Anaesthesiologist (specialty 01) to a non-emergency hospital in-patient. A limited consultation is defined as being less demanding and normally requiring substantially less of the physician's time than a full consultation. However, it must meet all other requirements for a consultation, which includes:
• A written request from a referring physician, nurse practitioner, or dental surgeon.
• An assessment of the patient due to the complexity, seriousness, or obscurity of the case.
• A written report of findings, opinions, and recommendations sent to the referring practitioner.
This service is subject to the same conditions as A215 as specified 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 on the common record.
The written request must identify the consultant by name, the referring practitioner by name and billing number, and the patient by name and health number.
The consultant must prepare a written report of their findings, opinions, and recommendations to be sent to the referring practitioner.
The written request sets out the information relevant to the referral and specifies the service(s) required.
