About this procedure
A new-patient office visit (level 3) — your first appointment with a particular doctor, usually 30 minutes, including a basic exam.
What to expect
Bring a list of medications, prior records if available, and a payment method. The visit covers your medical history, a focused exam, and a discussion of next steps. New-patient visits typically cost more than follow-ups because of the longer time and broader review.
