A CCI Procedure is a therapy, diagnostic intervention or imaging that follows the CCI coding scheme. We collect these following the CCI collection instructions.

Data representation

CCI codes are sets of letters and numbers of the format <number between 1-3>.<2 letters>.<2 numbers>.<optionally more letters>, e.g. 1.AB.23.CD

We encode these components in three fields as a single record in L_CCI_Component table:

• CCI_1_ID - first component, <number between 1-3>.<2 letters>
• CCI_2_ID - second component, <2 numbers><optionally more letters>

For each of those fields, a user of the data on the front end will see a description of the meaning of the chosen code. If the dropdown field is activated, the CCI Code component is seen as well. The actual data stored is a long integer unique ID that resolves to the corresponding s_CCI_1 table, s_CCI_2 table.

Query L CCI Resolver can be used to see the actual CCI code.
