Were can I find a list that shows the referring physician requirements by CPT Code?:)
 
The referring physician need only document who they are requesting a consultation from in the clinic notes? Then a letter should follow from that consulting physician when he/she recieves it. This is not documented in the CPT per se.

Be aware some auditors do not accept just a "prescription" in the chart requesting a consultation by the referring physician as this is a sign that the request of actually generated by the patient and/or family.

Hope this helps.
