What is the appropriate way to report pre-op clearance when surgeon has sent patient to pediatric provider?
Can we bill consult codes when there is no medical condition?
Does it depend on the carriers?
Thank you.
 
If you are the patient's PCP that is being asked to provide preop clearance then this is not a consult visit. It is either an ov level or it is the surgical code with the 56 modifier attached, depending on timing.
 
Could you please explain what you mean by the timing difference? This has been a thorn at our office lately. And where can I reference this information to show our doctors?

Thanks for any help
