Description
The US Encounter Type Value set CLD includes:
- Include codes from http://snomed.info/sct where concept is-a 308335008 (Patient encounter procedure)
- Include all codes defined in http://www.ama-assn.org/go/cpt
All of CPT is not appropriate for encounters. The C-CDA value set for encounter type could be re-used -https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/valueset/2.16.840.1.113883.3.88.12.80.32/expansion but does not use SNOMED.
- Inclusion Criteria:
CPT codes found in the following CPT sections: 99201-99499 E/M 99500-99600 home health (mainly nonphysician, such as newborn care in home) 99605-99607 medication management 98966-98968 non physician telephone services
Is SNOMED used by vendors for encounter type?
This CPT set has been used in C-CDA for many years.
Suggest aligning with and reusing the C-CDA EncounterTypeCode value set (https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/valueset/2.16.840.1.113883.3.88.12.80.32/expansion)
