New Patient Office Visit (level 4)

This is a longer first appointment for someone arriving with several things going on at once, or with one condition serious enough to need careful weighing. The decision-making is of moderate complexity — outside records reviewed, prescriptions started or changed, a real plan made. It is the level most specialists bill for a first consultation.
