Clinical

Current processing or clinical state of an ophthalmology record, such as active, completed, pending, or cancelled. Used in eye care claims adjudication and clinical workflows to track whether a referral, authorization, procedure, or treatment episode is open or resolved.

Concentration or dosage strength of an ophthalmic medication such as eye drops, ointments, or injectable agents prescribed or administered during eye care. Used in pharmacy and clinical records to ensure accurate dispensing of treatments for conditions like glaucoma or dry eye disease.

Partial sum of charges, units, or service counts for a subset of ophthalmology claims or procedures within a larger encounter or reporting period. Used in eye care billing to break out cost components such as professional fees, facility charges, or optical supply costs before applying a final total.

Calendar date on which an ophthalmic surgical procedure was performed, such as cataract extraction, retinal detachment repair, or LASIK. Used in claims adjudication, surgical outcome tracking, and postoperative care coordination to anchor episode-of-care timelines for eye surgery patients.

Destination system, anatomical target, or treatment goal associated with an ophthalmology encounter or procedure. Used in eye care clinical records to specify the targeted ocular structure, outcome metric such as intraocular pressure goal, or receiving facility in referral and care coordination workflows.

NUCC Health Care Provider Taxonomy code identifying the subspecialty classification of an eye care provider, such as general ophthalmology, retina, or pediatric ophthalmology. Used in claims routing and credentialing to match services to correctly qualified eye care specialists for adjudication.

Body temperature measurement recorded during an ophthalmology clinical encounter. Captured as part of vital signs documentation in eye care visits, particularly relevant when ocular inflammation, infection such as orbital cellulitis, or systemic conditions with ocular manifestations are being evaluated.

Calendar date marking the end of an ophthalmology treatment episode, authorization period, or contract period. Used in eye care claims and utilization management systems to close service windows, finalize episode-of-care calculations, and determine eligibility boundaries for vision benefit coverage.

Time of day recorded for a specific ophthalmology event such as a clinical exam, medication administration, or procedure. Used in eye care clinical documentation and facility scheduling systems to sequence intraday events and support accurate operative and encounter record construction.

Combined date and time value capturing the precise moment an ophthalmology transaction, clinical event, or data record was created or modified. Used in eye care audit trails, claims processing logs, and electronic health record systems to establish chronological order of ocular care events.

Formal name or label assigned to an ophthalmology record, procedure, clinical protocol, or report. Used in eye care documentation systems to identify specific exam types such as dilated fundus examination, surgical procedures, or diagnostic imaging studies within a patient's ocular care history.

Aggregate sum of charges, units, or service counts across all ophthalmology line items within a claim, encounter, or reporting period. Used in eye care billing and financial reporting to calculate the complete cost of an ocular care episode before insurance adjustments or member cost-sharing are applied.

Cumulative number of ophthalmology encounters, procedures, diagnoses, or claims records within a defined population or time period. Used in eye care utilization reporting, quality measurement, and population health analysis to quantify the volume of ocular services delivered to a patient or member group.

Classifies the category of an ophthalmology encounter or procedure, such as routine exam, surgical intervention, or diagnostic imaging. Used in eye care clinical systems to route referrals, segment reporting, and apply appropriate coding for vision-related claims processing.

Records the most recent date on which an ophthalmology record was modified, including changes to diagnoses, treatment plans, or clinical findings. Used in eye care systems to maintain audit trails and ensure data currency for conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.

Indicates the clinical time-sensitivity level assigned to an ophthalmology referral or procedure, such as emergent, urgent, or routine. Guides scheduling prioritization in eye care settings for conditions where delayed treatment, such as retinal detachment, may result in permanent vision loss.

Captures a discrete clinical measurement or quantitative result associated with an ophthalmology assessment, such as visual acuity score, intraocular pressure reading, or lens power measurement. Used in eye care records to track patient baseline metrics and monitor treatment effectiveness over time.

Tracks the iteration number of an ophthalmology clinical record, indicating how many times the record has been revised since its original creation. Used in eye care data systems to support version control, auditing, and the reconciliation of updated diagnoses or treatment documentation across encounters.

Records the postal code associated with an ophthalmology service location or patient address captured during an eye care encounter. Used for geographic analysis of vision care access, network adequacy reporting, and population health studies related to eye disease prevalence by region.

A binary flag indicating whether a clinical order, such as a lab test, medication, or imaging request, is currently active in the ordering system. Used in EHR workflows to filter pending versus completed or discontinued orders and prevent duplicate or conflicting order execution.
