Consultations may be claimed up to but not including the date of surgery by the anesthesiologist administering the anesthetic, providing the provisions outlined in GR 4.3 are met. They may also be claimed on the day of surgery for urgent and emergent cases/circumstances only, by the anesthesiologist administering the anesthetic, where the provisions of GR 4.3 are met and where another physician or dentist who provides oral and maxillofacial surgery services (or their agent) specifically requests the anesthesiologist's evaluation, consultation or opinion prior to the surgery proceeding. Consultations may not be claimed for routine pre-operative evaluations.

An admission visit and hospital daily care may be claimed by a family physician functioning as an anesthetist.

When providing procedural sedation in the emergency department, a consultation benefit may not be claimed in addition to the procedural sedation.
