I have always used the same rules for all insurance companies regarding billing for consultations. We are general surgeons, and I do not bill a consult unless I have something in writing from the referring doctor that asks for a consultation. Our doctors are insisting that I bill consultations since they are not Medicare patients. I was wondering if most follow having a written request in the chart to substantiate the code, or they just chance that the request will be in writing in the chart notes from the referring doctor.
Thanks,
