Have a group of doctors, my understanding is that when they see a pt in the hospital 1st doc can bill for consult 99254 then bill subsquent visits who ever sees them 99231, However if the patients is transferrred to another facilty can we bill for a new consult? or should it be subsquent- as continouation of care (looking for Medicare guidelines)
example Memorial Hospital consult transfered to Brooks Rehab new facilty and new doctor requesting consult

If theyare discharged it is a new consult/

Where can I find this information on CMS

Thank You,
