I have read on some other sites that some offices fax a request to the office that is sending the patient to their office to clarify if it is a consult or transfer of care. I was wondering if any other offices do this. We rarely get written confirmation of a consult request in our area, even if the other office is not sure of a DX. They often just fax over tests with no cover letter as to their intent. I think that it would be worth the time to do this to have some form of written confirmation in our chart, and do you think that this would
justify billing a consult if Medicare did an audit.
Thanks,
