Repeated consultation of a doctor nephrologist

If a specialist physician schedules a follow-up consultation for the same reason as the initial visit (for continuation and monitoring of treatment), it must take place within a specified period determined by the specialist physician based on the treatment plan. An important condition of a follow-up consultation is that the physician may, according to the patient's condition and clinical needs, determine the period during which the patient is eligible for follow-up consultation status.

If the patient seeks further treatment and monitoring for the same condition on their own initiative due to a deterioration in their health, a follow-up consultation may be provided within 1 month of the specialist physician’s consultation. The 1-month period is calculated from the date of the initial visit.
