Scenario 1-
A patient is admitted to the hospital and a Specialty Physician is requested to consult on a specific problem. The patient is then discharged from the Hospital and readmitted the same day to another hospital. The Physician is then requested to consult again (different day from any other E/M services) for the same problem but different facility. Would a consultation be appropriate since this is a different facility even though the same problem is being treated? The physicain would not have continued treatment at the new hospital if not requested.
Scenario 2-
Same as above but the Specialty Physician had planned on treating the patient at the new facilty even though a new request for a consultation was documented.
Scenario 3-
Same as Scenario 1 except the hospitals. The first hospital is "Huron Hospital" and the second hospital is "Grace Huron Specialty Hospital" which is a floor in "Huron Hospital".
Thank you!:
