The physician is compensated only for the initial office visit; not for the actual referral (or consultation) to another physician. When the patient visits the consulted physician, he is compensated for that visit.

However, the consultant's opinion and any services that were ordered or performed must also be documented in the patient's medical record and communicated by written report to the requesting physician.
