What it covers

A consultation for a referred patient with a uveitis, ocular inflammatory or orbital inflammatory disorder, by an ophthalmologist with fellowship training in uveitis and ocular inflammatory diseases (A154).

A dilated fundus examination and analysis of the laboratory, radiological and ocular imaging studies done to investigate the inflammatory disease must be documented (A154).

Billing rules

• Only for a patient with a uveitis, ocular inflammatory or orbital inflammatory disorder (A154).
• Document a dilated fundus exam and the analysis of the lab, radiology and ocular imaging studies (A154).
• If the patient wasn't referred for this or doesn't have such a disorder, use the general listings (A154).
• General consultation rules and limits apply (GP16–GP18). Age premiums for patients under 16 apply (GP64).

Common rejections
