Consult Documentation Guidelines

In your article regarding the guidelines for Consultations, it is noted that there must be a written request in the patients chart. If the patient comes in with nothing written but we are sending documentation to the physician who the patient saw that that told him or her to see us is this okay? thank you, Bonnie

re: Consult Documentation Guidelines

Do you have a phone request?

A copy of the requesting clinician's note?

The request for consult must be documented. The consulting physician can document it, but how did you get it?

The surgeon instructed the patient to call PCP for a preoperative clearance. This is billed out as a consult.
