Is it common practice for a dr to consult with another dr w/o your knowledge and then add $ to the next bill?

I am being treated by an Dr for acupuncture. He recently went to China for a seminar and consulted with an Dr regarding my treatment. On my next visit to him he charged me an additional $100 for the consultation. I was not told or asked if I wanted him to do this. Is this legal, or even common practice with doctors?
