sick visit
Doctor for symptoms
A sick visit is a medical appointment for an acute illness or new symptoms, as opposed to a routine checkup or scheduled follow-up.
The term is standard in American healthcare settings: I called the pediatrician to schedule a sick visit for my daughter's ear infection.
Insurance and billing often distinguish sick visits from wellness visits.
