specialist visit
Focused medical appointment
A specialist visit is a medical appointment with a doctor who focuses on a particular area of medicine rather than general practice—a cardiologist, dermatologist, orthopedist, or the like.
The term appears frequently in insurance contexts, where specialist visits often require referrals or carry different copays than primary care visits: My plan covers four specialist visits per year.
