Hello,
I have a scenario that requires some clarification:
A physician plans to admit the patient on a given day. Prior to the admission the patient is seen by a sub-specialist (same facility) at the request of the admitting. Would you bill an outpatient consult for the sub-specialist?
I found the earlier thread (link below) which is not exactly covering this situation.

Any insight you could provide is greatly appreciated.
