Vocab WG July 30 meeting [CPT4 visits and postcoordination]

You can find the meeting recording here and meeting slides here.

We discussed two proposals for February 2025 release:

  1. CPT4
  • Make CPT4/HCPCS ‘visit-related’ codes Standard
    Proposed domain for CPT4 codes – Procedure (align with our def of Procedure domain + aligns with pre-2023 domain assignment).

  • Create ‘Has related visit’ relationship, so the ETL can create visits out of these CPT/HCPCS concepts, but be able to preserve original concept as standard in another domain.

  1. Post-coordinated labs and syndromes
  • Rollback post-coordination effort on measurement-related disorders
    Source diagnosis codes map to nearest mapping in SNOMED
    SNOMED structure preserved without de-standardizing clinical finding concepts
