99255 (CPT)

A professional fee for an inpatient consultation level 5 is a charge for a detailed evaluation and medical opinion provided by a specialist or physician when you are already hospitalized for another reason. This type of consultation is typically requested when your hospital care team needs expert advice about a complex medical condition or to help manage multiple health issues during your stay. You can expect the consulting physician to review your medical records, perform a thorough examination, and discuss findings and recommendations with your primary medical team.
