A 21-year-old female asked:

Would visiting a specialist doctor for a suspected uti normally be classified as a level 3 office visit or a level 4 office visit if i am a new patient?

Unrelated: The "level 1-5" doctor visit coding system in the US is for telling the payor (usually the insurer) the extent of care and/or time spent related to a particular visit. The level 1-5 has nothing to do with the specialty of the visit. It has to do with how much work and/or time was needed by the doctor to care for the patient. So, a new patient visit to any doctor can be a level 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Macrobid was called in for a suspected UTI due to burning. After taking two doses, I was able to leave a urine sample at my doctors office which came back normal. Should I continue the Macrobid until the full culture comes back or discontinue?

I am getting up frequently to go to the bathroom. Last night it was 8 times. I took an over the counter test with AZO test strips and it indicates a strong possibility of an UTI. Can that be treated without having an office visit? uti in women
