Addictionaddict

A chronic relapsing condition documented in EHR and claims data through ICD-10 substance use disorder codes such as F10-F19. Addiction-related data is used in behavioral health analytics, prior authorization workflows, pharmacy utilization management programs, and value-based care quality reporting across payer and provider systems.

AntipsychoticAP

A drug class recorded in EHR medication administration records, behavioral health systems, and PBM claims to manage psychotic disorders. Mapped via NDC and RxNorm codes; subject to prior authorization workflows, metabolic monitoring flags, and CMS quality measure tracking in claims and pharmacy data pipelines.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderADHD

A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity affecting children and adults. ADHD diagnosis codes are documented in EHR problem lists using ICD-10 codes. ADHD medications are tracked in pharmacy claims and prescription drug monitoring programs as controlled substances.

Chemotherapychemo

Systemic cancer treatment using cytotoxic drug regimens, documented in EHR oncology modules with specific CPT and HCPCS billing codes (e.g., Q-codes). Claims data tracks infusion duration, drug dosage, and administration site, while pharmacy systems manage high-alert medication protocols and prior authorization workflows.

Controlled SubstanceCS

A drug regulated under federal DEA scheduling due to abuse or dependency potential, flagged in pharmacy dispensing, PBM, and EHR systems using DEA schedule codes and NDC identifiers. Data engineers use controlled substance flags to enforce dispensing limits, support PDMP reporting, and monitor opioid utilization patterns.

Controlled Substance Ordering SystemCSOS

A DEA-mandated electronic system used by pharmacies and distributors to order Schedule I and II controlled substances, generating structured transaction data. Data engineers integrate CSOS order records with pharmacy dispensing systems to support DEA compliance reporting, supply chain auditing, and drug diversion detection analytics.

Electronic Prescribing of Controlled SubstancesEPCS

DEA-compliant electronic transmission of Schedule II-V controlled substance prescriptions from certified prescriber systems to pharmacies. Requires two-factor authentication and audit logging in EHR and pharmacy systems, replacing paper DEA Form 222 and reducing diversion risk in PBM and pharmacy data workflows.

Hormone Replacement TherapyHRT

Therapeutic regimen using exogenous hormones documented in EHR medication records, pharmacy dispensing systems, and PBM claims data using NDC and RxNorm codes. HRT prescription patterns are analyzed in women's health population analytics, formulary utilization reporting, and chronic condition management data workflows.

Instrumental Activities of Daily LivingIADL

Functional assessment measures used in EHR and care management systems to evaluate a patient's ability to perform complex daily tasks such as managing medications, finances, and transportation. IADL scores inform care plans, home health eligibility, and long-term care authorizations in clinical and claims platforms.

Obsessive Compulsive DisorderOCD

OCD is a behavioral health diagnosis identified in EHR, claims, and encounter data using ICD-10-CM code F42.x. Data engineers encounter OCD codes in mental health claims processing, utilization management systems, and quality measure reporting pipelines where behavioral health diagnoses require specialized handling under parity compliance rules.

Occupational TherapyOT

Rehabilitative service coded in EHR and claims systems using CPT codes 97165-97168 and revenue code 0430, helping patients regain functional capacity for activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, and cooking. Documented in care plans and utilized in utilization management and authorization workflows.

Payer Supplemental IDpyr_supp_id

A secondary identifier assigned to an insurance carrier used in claims adjudication, eligibility verification, and remittance processing systems. Supplements the primary payer ID in EDI 837 and 835 transactions, enabling routing to sub-plans, regional entities, or alternate payer configurations within PBM and clearinghouse platforms.

Physical TherapyPT

Rehabilitative clinical service documented in EHR, claims, and authorization systems using CPT codes 97010-97799 and revenue code 0420. PT encounters are tracked for utilization management, prior authorization workflows, and episode-of-care analytics within value-based care and managed care organization data pipelines.

Post-Traumatic Stress DisorderPTSD

Behavioral health diagnosis coded as ICD-10-CM F43.10-F43.12, captured in EHR problem lists, claims data, and encounter records. PTSD diagnoses trigger specialized care management flags in managed care and Medicare/Medicaid platforms, influencing risk stratification models, care gap identification, and behavioral health utilization reporting.

PsychiatryPSYCH

Clinical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating mental health disorders, represented by specialty codes in EHR, claims, and provider directory systems. Data engineers use PSYCH taxonomy codes to route behavioral health claims, apply parity rules, identify network providers, and segment mental health populations in managed care analytics platforms.

Radiation TherapyXRT

A cancer treatment modality using high-energy ionizing radiation to destroy malignant cells, documented in EHR oncology modules and claims systems with CPT and revenue codes specific to external beam, brachytherapy, or SBRT techniques. Claims include dose in Gray, fraction count, treatment site, and referring oncologist NPI for billing and quality reporting purposes.

Step TherapyST

PBM and payer-enforced protocol requiring members to try and fail one or more preferred, lower-cost medications before a higher-cost drug is approved for coverage. Stored in prior authorization and formulary management systems; data engineers use step therapy edits to track override rates, compliance, and formulary exception workflows.

Tricyclic AntidepressantTCA

Class of older antidepressant medications, including amitriptyline and nortriptyline, identified by drug class codes in PBM formulary and pharmacy claims systems. Data engineers use TCA classification to support medication adherence analysis, drug utilization review, and clinical quality measure reporting across EHR and pharmacy datasets.

disorder active indicatordsrd_actv_ind

The current status flag for a abnormal health state. Used to track the current state or condition of the disorder. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for disorder management and reporting.

disorder active statusdsrd_actv_sts

The current activity state for a abnormal health state. Used to track the current state or condition of the disorder. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for disorder management and reporting.
