Summary

At the request of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider, the pathologist performs a consultation for a highly complex clinical problem requiring a high level of medical judgment to help clarify diagnostic test findings. The consultation includes a comprehensive review of patient history and medical records, or you may select the code based on 41–60 minutes documented on the consultation date.
