When is a consult a consult??

John Corbett8/17/20 7:44 PM (CDT)

I am seeking the opinion of fellow neurologists/neurophysiologists as to whether you consider clinical examination, history taking and explanation of results and discussion of management as part of the neurophysiology study or is it considered as a separate consultation? In my clinic I (as a Neurologist) personally exam the patient and take their history and based on this, set a test protocol which a neuroscientist then performs. I then see the patient in my office after the study is completed for discussion of the results and management recommendations, and I provide a detailed report back to the referring physician.

I would appreciate a simple yes or no response to the question: does the above process allow billing of an EDX study and a consultation?

Thanking you in advance.

John

AANEM Connect Terms of Use

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
