Office Visit, New Patient (Moderate Complexity)

Utah rates for HCPCS 99204

An initial appointment with a doctor or provider the patient has not seen before, involving a moderate level of medical decision-making, such as reviewing several health concerns or evaluating a condition that needs a closer look. First visits like this typically involve more time than a follow-up because the provider is building a full picture of the patient's health history for the first time. It reflects a meaningful step up in complexity from the most basic new-patient visit.
