1 Introduction and Overview

For example, a Thrombectomy act may be named “34001” using the CPT-4 code, “P1-30322” in SNOMED, or “38.00” in ICD-10-PCS. More than one code may routinely be transmitted in a message, for example one standard LOINC code, a locally used code, and a third less specific code, such as CPT-4, that would be used to bill for the Act. ................
