## What it is

A daily follow-up physician visit during a hospital or observation stay at the middle level, for a patient responding inadequately to treatment or with a minor new complication — for example, a post-op fever work-up or adjusting insulin doses that are not yet controlling blood sugar. Total time typically runs about 35 minutes.
