Why would you bill both of these?

Its one or the other. A consult is when a doctor (normally a primary physician) refers the patient to a specialist. The specialist will examine the patient and is supposed to send a consult note back to the primary stating what his recomendations are. If the specialists starts any treatment on that patient then it is no longer a consult and then you would bill a new patient. You cant bill both.
Also alot of insurance companies are not accepting the consult codes anymore.
