A repeat consultation is an additional consultation rendered by the same consultant for the same presenting problem, after the patient has received care from another physician since the initial consultation. This service requires a new written request from the referring practitioner and adheres to all the requirements of a standard consultation. It is intended for non-emergency situations in long-term care institutions as defined in the Schedule of Benefits (e.g., chronic care hospitals, convalescent hospitals, nursing homes, homes for the aged). For emergency calls or special visits, 'A' prefix General Listings codes should be used instead.
