* The criteria for coding this are:
* As of March 4, 2024, SH/DSM sent out a memo that serum corrected calcium will no longer be reported.  Instead if there is a concern for hyper/hypocalcemia an ionized calcium is now recommended.
** Ca++ >= 3.3
 
** ionized Ca++ >=1.6
{{ICD10 Guideline repeated events}}

* 2024-03-04 - SH/DSM sent out a memo that serum corrected calcium will no longer be reported.  Instead if there is a concern for hyper/hypocalcemia an ionized calcium is now recommended.
