office visit
Scheduled professional consultation
An office visit is a trip to see a professional—typically a doctor—at their place of business rather than at a hospital, your home, or by phone.
Medical billing distinguishes office visits from other encounter types: The insurance covers two office visits per year.
The term appears most often in healthcare contexts but applies to any in-person appointment at a professional's office.
