What does ANWEB stand for or mean?

#1

I’m new to this world and there are as many acronyms to learn as any other area of expertise. Usually with a little searching I’ve been able to break down what something might mean. HCPCS ICD, but the ANWEB on has me curious enough to signup and ask. ANWEB_V2, what was the V1? Oh and I just think I saw an ANWEB_V3 too.

@barretts:

You are funny. anweb_v2 is the name of one of the tables we download to build the HCPCS vocabulary. No idea what it is supposed to mean, and guess knowing it won’enhance your “area of expertise” all that much.

I had gotten the idea that it meant alpha numeric something or other. I’m sure the original schema writer had something in mind but I feel better knowing it is of no consequence.

Thanks!
