    "description": "The first full visit a physician or advanced practice clinician makes to a patient newly admitted to a skilled nursing facility or long-term care unit. It covers a complete history, an examination, and a plan for the stay. This is the middle of the three admission-visit levels: the thinking involved is moderately complex, such as several active problems at once, a new diagnosis that still needs sorting out, or medications that need real adjustment rather than simple continuation. Total time devoted to the patient on that day commonly lands in the mid-thirties of minutes.",
