Default CPT code for second opinion

I am searching for the CPT code for second opinion. A patient came to the officce, the physician spent about 45 mins with the patient ( went over medical records, discussed about the problem). Patient doesnt want any examination from the physician, Patient only wants a second opinion. I did many researches but could not find anything. Any input will be very appreciated.

if the provider documents time and they're established you can bill a 99215 (or 99203 for new)
