I like Angela's plan as HCPCS is the superset of terms. If after we deploy, we find that we only need a smaller set, like HCPT, or CPT, we can drop down to the smaller set. But we will have the data behind the decision to do so.

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.
