A consultation typically requires a request from another physician, documentation of findings, record of recommendations, and a report back to the referring physician. Revising the initial diagnosis is not a necessary component of a consultation; the consultant may confirm the initial diagnosis or suggest alternative diagnoses, but revision of the diagnosis is not a requirement for a service to be considered a consultation.
