A patient who visits an emergency department is typically coded as a new patient. This designation is due to the nature of emergency care, where patients are often seen for urgent issues without prior established relationships with the healthcare providers. However, if the patient has a regular ongoing relationship with the same provider or group, they might be coded as established.

The major reason a patient is seen in a provider's office is referred to as the "primary diagnosis."

When the receptionist is uncertain if the patient should be seen that day, they would typically transfer the call to a nurse or medical assistant.

If necessary, they can then advise the patient on scheduling an appointment or provide guidance on next steps.
When querying a patient index to determine if a patient has been seen at a practice, essential information includes the patient's full name, date of birth, and possibly additional identifiers such as a social security number or insurance details. The query may also require the practice's specific patient ID or account number, if applicable. Having accurate and complete information helps ensure a successful match in the patient index.

Okay, this decision is actually more up to the parent than the state law. Yes, a 15 year old may be seen by a doctor alone, without a parent. But, until they are 18, it will still be up to their parents and/or guardians. Doctors usually prefer to see patients by themselves, to preserve "Doctor-Patient Confidentiality".
