The consult Portal allows you to submit case information and ask questions to an LVMC clinician about the management of a patient not currently being treated by the LVMC. This includes potential referral cases for which you need medical advice.
Key Features:
- Consult Availability: Consults remain open for 24-48 hours.
- Reopening Cases: Consults can be re-opened at no additional fee for up to three months.
- Fee: A $50 charge will be applied to your ISU VMC Clinic account upon submission.
