We are an Urgent Care facility with multiple sites, each site has its own Tax ID# and own Group NPI. We are struggling with the New patient visit vs an Established patient visit.
Here are a few examples:
1. Patient comes into location 1 and sees one of our Physicians for the first time we know that is a new patient visit but what if the SAME PATIENT comes into location 3 not for a follow up but for a new problem and sees the same doctor would this be considered a new or established patient visit?
2. Patient comes into location 1 sees one of the Physicians and then goes to location 3 at a later date and sees a different Physician would this be a New or Established visit?
