Is there a code that you can use for a second opinion consult by different doc but same speciality in same group?
 
You cannot bill a consult for a visit that is being resquested by a physician in the same group. You could only bill a consult if it was a different speciality within the same group. It will have to be billed as an established pt. A while back there were second opinion E/M codes, but they were elliminated.

Hope that helps,
