**Short answer:** Not recordable

No. Visits to a clinician only for observation or counseling, and diagnostic procedures such as x-rays and blood tests, are not medical treatment. Record the case only if it also meets another criterion.


## Why

- No death, days away, restriction, treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness or significant diagnosis. [29 CFR 1904.7(a)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/section-1904.7)
