What is the difference between a limited patient visit, intermediate visit and an extended visit?
A limited patient visit is one where the member is seen for a problem focused visit with minor problems (Physician time 10 mins.), i.e., recheck for a cold. An intermediate patient visit is more involved with low to moderate severity, and will require a longer visit with the provider, i.e., sore throat. An extended patient visit is where the member is having a physical examination or consultation for a chronic illness or consideration for surgery, etc.
