This covers an office visit with a doctor or other provider for a patient who hasn't been seen by that practice, or a same-specialty colleague, within the past three years, involving a straightforward degree of medical decision-making. It's a moderate step up from the most basic new-patient check-in, but simpler than a visit for a complicated or multiple-problem case. How straightforward or involved the visit is depends on either the complexity of the medical decisions made or, alternatively, the total time the provider spends with the patient that day.
