As a patient, I really don’t care how long I see the doctor. I care more about results. I went to a specialist a few years ago. I met with him for less than five minutes and he diagnosed me and sent me to physical therapy for a month. After three weeks, I was totally cured.
Looks like the confusion has continued---there is no "clock", only meeting strict documentation criteria
