no, #243<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/243> is still open. We didn't make any decisions.

But based on today’s gpc-dev conversation, it seems like HCPCS is preferred. HCPCS level 1 codes are 5-digit numeric HCPT codes. HCPCS level 2 are a letter followed by four numeric digits as the HCPCS code. I think I should rebuild our terms with this order of precedence: HCPCS > HCPT > CPT. In doing so, we should end up with terms that are more aligned with the current UTSW hierarchy. For i2b2, we should prepend the codes to the browse-able terms, similar to UTSW but maybe omitting the ‘Level 1’ for subfolders, and postfix codes in the i2v2 search paths. Questions/comments on this course of action? -Angela | UTHSCSA _______________________________________________ Gpc-dev mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://listserv.kumc.edu/mailman/listinfo/gpc-dev
