Hello
If a orthopedic does a consultation on a patient for shoulder pain and then 2 years later sees the patient again for hip pain, is the second one an established patient or consult? I know about the 3 year rule; however, I thought there was some kind of rule that says another consult can be billed if you are seeing the patient for a new problem. Thanks!!!
