A physician enrolled in the LFP Payment Model submits a referral to MSP by the same processes used in fee-for-service. The referring physician either completes the “Referred to” field in a provided service claim (patient interaction code) or submits a 03333 if there is no associated service claim. The referral is required in order for the consultant to bill the consultation.
