When one of your providers is covering for another Dr (not part of same group) I know that the visit is not considered a new patient. What happens if the patient comes back a few months later to become a new patient of the practice and is scheduled with another one of the providers? Is that visit considered established since the patient has seen one of our providers before or is it a new visit since the first time they were covering for another physician?
