Hello,
Is it appropriate to bill a consult in this suituation:
A patient that was seen at an Urgent Care facility is sent for a consult at an orthopedic facility. The criteria of the 3 R's would be met. Does that seem right that a patient is sent for a consult from a urgent care facility? It sounds like it should be more of a follow up appt. What is your thinking on this? Could you bill a consult in that situation if the 3 R's are met?
Thanks in advance.
