For example, an
annual physical or screening, a follow-up visit to go over test results, a
medication adjustment, care of an injury, infections of illness, advice on
coping with an existing condition or a request for a referral . Try to be as specific as possible as this
helps the office staff allocate enough time based on urgency.Most medical
providers must now limit each case to 10 to 15 minutes--and this includes
reviewing a chart, seeing a patient, then documenting what was done, and
ordering and reviewing lab test. If
the patient has special needs that often require additional time, has a
complicated problem or several smaller problems, be sure to mention this when
making the appointment so that an extended time slot can be reserved.
