I know that an ER Doc can request a consult in the hospital setting but we seem to get alot of new patients scheduled in the office as a consultation requested by the ER Doc. Since we are a cardiology office, I am guessing that maybe at discharge, an ER Doc might advise follow-up, say with a cardiologist, but he can't request a consult outside the hospital setting. I am hoping to get this clarified for our doctors because they think that they can bill a consultation in the office with the ER Doc as the requesting doctor. Is this stated anywhere in writing that it can't be done?
