Second opion consult

I have two surgoens in my office they are not in a group they are just two dr.s practicing in the same location.
Can I bill a new patient consult if one of the patients wants a second opion from the other surgeon?

yes

if they are not medicare- there are no consults for Medicare. But if the tax ID and group NPI are different, no problem billing as a new patient.
