Clinical

Records the date on which a surgical procedure was performed within a defined treatment duration period. Used in clinical, claims, and perioperative data systems to anchor pre-operative and post-operative care timelines, support surgical outcome tracking, and validate procedure-related authorization and billing.

Specifies the intended clinical goal, threshold, or destination value associated with a treatment duration period, such as a target lab value, discharge disposition, or care milestone. Used in care management and clinical decision support systems to measure treatment progress and guide intervention planning.

Records the NUCC Health Care Provider Taxonomy Code identifying the specialty or classification of the clinician or facility associated with a treatment duration period. Used in claims and credentialing systems to validate provider type, support specialty-based reimbursement rules, and enable specialty-stratified utilization reporting.

Records the patient's body temperature measurement, typically in Fahrenheit or Celsius, captured during a defined clinical treatment period. Used in vital signs monitoring within EHR and inpatient systems to track fever trends, detect infection indicators, and support clinical decision-making across care episodes.

The date on which a defined treatment period, authorization window, or clinical intervention officially ends. Used in utilization management and care coordination systems to mark the conclusion of an approved service duration or episode of care.

The specific time of day at which a treatment period, clinical procedure, or therapeutic intervention is recorded as occurring. Used in clinical and surgical scheduling systems to track precise timing of care episodes within a broader duration window.

The combined date and time value marking a key event within a treatment or authorization period. Used in clinical data systems to create an exact chronological record of when a care episode, service window, or intervention duration was initiated or modified.

The formal descriptive label assigned to a specific treatment period or episode of care. Used in clinical documentation and utilization management systems to identify and distinguish between multiple concurrent or sequential duration records associated with a patient encounter.

The aggregate measurement representing the full length of a treatment period, authorization window, or care episode. Used in utilization management and clinical reporting to quantify the overall time span of services rendered or approved for a given patient encounter.

The cumulative number of discrete treatment intervals, authorized service periods, or care episodes recorded for a patient or encounter. Used in utilization management reporting to track how many distinct duration segments comprise a complete course of treatment or benefit period.

The classification category describing the nature of a treatment period, such as acute, chronic, post-operative, or rehabilitative. Used in clinical and utilization management systems to differentiate between service duration categories for authorization, billing, and outcomes reporting purposes.

The most recent date on which a treatment period record was modified, extended, or revised in the clinical or utilization management system. Used to maintain an audit trail of changes to authorized service durations, care episode windows, or treatment plan timelines.

The clinical priority or time-sensitivity classification assigned to a treatment period, indicating how promptly the intervention or service must be initiated or completed. Used in utilization management and care coordination to triage authorization requests and schedule time-critical care episodes.

The sequential version number assigned to a treatment period record, incrementing each time the duration is revised, extended, or reauthorized. Used in utilization management systems to maintain a historical audit trail of changes to care episode windows or approved service periods.

The postal code associated with the location where a treatment period or care episode is being delivered. Used in clinical and utilization management systems to identify the geographic service area for duration-based authorizations, facility assignments, or network adequacy assessments.

The date on which a member's inpatient hospital admission becomes valid under their active coverage period. Used in claims adjudication and member eligibility systems to verify that the admission falls within the benefit effective window for proper reimbursement processing.

The date on which an inpatient hospital discharge is recognized as occurring within a member's active coverage period. Used in claims adjudication and utilization management systems to confirm benefit eligibility at the time of release and calculate covered length of stay.

A flag denoting whether an emergency service or encounter is associated with a member's active coverage effective period. Used in claims adjudication systems to apply appropriate emergency benefit rules, cost-sharing provisions, and network exception policies during eligibility validation.

The clinical narrative describing a patient's current condition as documented within an active coverage or treatment effective period. Used in medical management and prior authorization workflows to contextualize the presenting illness against the member's benefit eligibility window for service approval decisions.

The human-readable display text or descriptive tag associated with a coverage effective period or benefit validity window. Used in member enrollment and eligibility systems to present clear, user-facing identifiers for active coverage segments in portals, EOBs, and plan administration interfaces.
