The attending physician had requested an inpatient consultationon a 10-year-old admitted for an appendectomy. Postoperatively, the patient developed a fever and seizures. An initial consultation diagnosis was febrile seizure. Now,on day 5, the child's temperature has returned to normal but thechild has had a recurrence of seizures of increased severity. A follow up hospital consultation is requested (sameconsultant). He documents a detailed history and physicalexam with high medical decision making. What is the correctE/M code for the follow up consultation?
