Telemedicine consultation
Telemedicine consultation is available on a fee-for-service basis to the AFIP’s civilian customers. Telemedicine consultation is covered under CPT code 88321: "Consultation and report on referred slides, prepared elsewhere". The same fee applies to static-image, real-time, or virtual slide cases.

If the AFIP consultant requests slides or blocks on a telemedicine case, and they are submitted, the fee for the teleconsult will not be applied to that particular case.
