I think you are thinking of a "house visit". Such as when a doctor comes to a patient's house, instead of the patient going to the doctor. Hope this helps!
A house-call is when a doctor visits a patient at their house.
it is called the initial visit, or new patient visit. the second visit is the established patient, or follow-up visit.
If its a very important phone call regarding an emergency, your visit may be interrupted or cut short. Otherwise, there is no reason at all.
What do you call if the patient allergy to peanut?
You just call them a patient or you could just call them a person.
My recommendation is NO. If you have a cough stay home and call on the phone. When a person goes through chemo their immune system is compromised, colds and coughs are easy to catch something a chemo patient does not need.
Patient Information Form
My educated guess is that it is used without a hyphen when used as a verb, and with a hyphen when used as an adjective. Dr. Smith is on call. He is the on-call physician. Similar to follow up: Dr. Smith will follow up with the patient when she has her follow-up visit.

Of course not, anyone from Bush to a terrorist can visit you.
Established patient
Patient is the term for the customer visiting the doctor. If you have the flu or a broken bone and visit your doctor, you are the patient.
