Wiki Consult and H&P

[rakeley]

If a provider performs a Consult on the same day as a H&P, can that provider bill a consult with modifier -57 to capture consult (when surgery is next day) and should H&P and Consult be separately reported, for auditing purposes?

if the admitting is another provider not of the same specialty then yes both
If same doc and specialty only one can be charged with the 57
