    "VISIT TYPE" DEFINITIONS

    I do not know the difference between many of the visit types. I selected "Acute Care" for many of my doctor visits which involved a treatment, but then in my Medical History Summary these visits are all listed as Hospitalizations. None of these visits required hospitilization. What is the difference between "Checkup Exam" and "Diagnosis", and "Ambulatory Care" and "General Medical Treatment", etc. I've tried searching the internet, but have wasted a lot of time and still do not have any definitive guide. Is there a source for your listing of Visit Types that we could refer to, preferably online, so we are entering this correctly? There is probably some importance to the medical community who will see this information to have it right.
