If a patient is seen in the hospital as a consult, and never seen before in that physician's office, the patient hospital follow-up office to that physician would be considered a new patient, correct?

No it would be an established patient. It does not matter where the patient has seen the doctor. All that matters is the patient has been seen by that doctor within the past 3 years.
