As a consultation, it requires a written request from a referring physician, nurse practitioner, or dental surgeon. The consulting physician must perform a comprehensive assessment, including a review of all relevant data, and provide a written report of findings, opinions, and recommendations to the referring practitioner. The C-prefix indicates this service is for non-emergency hospital in-patients. For emergency calls or special visits, the equivalent General Listing 'A' prefix code should be used with applicable special visit premiums. See for full consultation requirements.
