Behavioral

A score from a standardized cognitive screening instrument such as the Mini-Mental State Examination or Montreal Cognitive Assessment, used to identify cognitive decline that may overlap with or complicate behavioral health diagnosis and treatment, particularly in geriatric populations.

A billing code such as CPT 99492 through 99494 used to report psychiatric collaborative care management services delivered by a behavioral health care manager working under the supervision of a primary care provider and consulting psychiatrist, a model increasingly adopted to expand behavioral health access within primary care.

The date on which a payer or managed behavioral health organization conducted a concurrent utilization review of an ongoing inpatient or residential behavioral health admission to determine continued medical necessity and authorize additional days or sessions.

An indicator showing that a member's behavioral health or substance use treatment is being delivered pursuant to a court order, diversion program, or legal mandate rather than voluntary engagement. This field affects consent and information-sharing requirements under 42 CFR Part 2 and is tracked separately for compliance and outcomes reporting.

An indicator showing that a behavioral health encounter was triggered by an acute psychiatric or substance use crisis requiring immediate intervention, as distinct from scheduled routine treatment. This flag supports crisis utilization reporting, mobile crisis team performance tracking, and identification of members who may benefit from enhanced care coordination to prevent recurring crisis episodes.

An indicator showing that a member was admitted to a crisis stabilization unit, a short-term sub-acute facility designed to stabilize individuals in psychiatric crisis as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization, used in alternative-level-of-care utilization analysis.

An indicator showing that a member is actively engaged with a prescribed or recommended digital therapeutic application for behavioral health self-management, such as a CBT-based mobile app, used in measuring adoption and effectiveness of technology-supported care models.

A code identifying where a member was discharged to following an inpatient behavioral health admission, such as home, a step-down residential program, a partial hospitalization program, or against medical advice. Discharge disposition is a strong predictor of readmission risk and is widely used in care transition analytics.

Binary flag indicating whether a diagnosed disorder is currently active in a patient's clinical record. Used in EHR problem lists and clinical data warehouses to distinguish active conditions requiring ongoing management from resolved or inactive diagnoses, supporting care planning and risk stratification.

Categorical status value describing the current activity state of a diagnosed disorder in a patient's clinical record. Tracks whether the condition is active, inactive, resolved, or in remission, enabling clinicians and care managers to prioritize treatment interventions and update longitudinal problem lists accurately.

Physical or mailing address associated with the location where a disorder was diagnosed or treated, or linked to the patient record for that condition. Used in clinical data systems to associate encounter locations or referring facility addresses with specific disorder records for care coordination and reporting.

Dollar value representing a financial adjustment applied to charges associated with treating a specific disorder. Captured in claims and billing systems to reflect contractual write-offs, payer adjustments, or correction entries that modify the original billed amount for disorder-related services on remittance records.

Patient's age at the time a disorder was first diagnosed or documented in the clinical record. Used in clinical analytics, epidemiological research, and population health reporting to analyze age-related prevalence patterns, risk stratification models, and disease onset trends across patient populations.

Maximum reimbursable dollar amount a health plan will pay for services rendered to treat a specific disorder, as defined by the payer's fee schedule or contractual agreement. Used in claims adjudication to determine member cost-sharing responsibilities such as copays, coinsurance, and deductibles for disorder-related encounters.

Generic monetary value associated with a disorder record in claims or billing systems, representing costs tied to diagnosing or treating the condition. Used in financial reporting and cost analysis to aggregate expenditures related to specific disorders across encounters, members, or provider contracts.

Authorization state indicating whether treatment or a care plan associated with a specific disorder has received payer or clinical approval. Used in utilization management and prior authorization workflows to track whether requested services for a diagnosed condition have been approved, denied, or are pending review.

Identifier or name of the clinician, care manager, or administrative user who authorized the treatment plan, documentation, or clinical decision associated with a specific disorder. Used in audit trails and clinical governance workflows to maintain accountability and traceability of disorder-related approvals in health systems.

Timestamp recording the time a patient arrived at a care facility for an encounter related to a specific disorder. Used in emergency department and inpatient clinical systems to measure door-to-treatment intervals, track throughput metrics, and support quality reporting for time-sensitive conditions such as stroke or sepsis.

Calendar date on which a patient arrived at a healthcare facility for an encounter associated with a specific disorder. Used in clinical operations and quality reporting to calculate time-to-treatment intervals, measure care access timeliness, and support regulatory reporting for acute and chronic condition management workflows.

Clinician's documented evaluation of a patient's disorder, typically recorded in the assessment section of a SOAP note or clinical encounter record. Captures the provider's interpretation of diagnostic findings, symptom progression, and treatment response, forming the clinical basis for care planning and disorder management decisions.
