If a physician perfoms a consultation on an established patient in the hospital should it be billed as a consult code or initial inpaitient code? This is a non Medicare patient.
 
If he is not the admitting physician and it is a non-medicare patient as long as his documentation has the 3 components required, you should bill the consult code.
