Office visits are visits to the doctor for a specific problem. An office visit includes a problem-oriented history, exam and doctor’s recommendations. Preventive visits are routine visits that evaluate a patient’s health. Visits include counseling, risk factor education and a doctor’s recommendation of appropriate next steps.
