    • ​​During the 2017 annual update, we reviewed all the value sets and made updates to the tests used to indicate if a patient was seropositive.

    • Unable to do proper terminology mapping

      For CMS 117,the Value set Name is Hepatitis A Antigen Test but the codes listed are for Antibody Tests.

      The same is true for Hepatitis B Antigen Tests: The LOINC code and description for Hepatitis B virus is for an Antibody test. When researching LOINC codes, it is evident that the Antibody tests are not being used.

      Correct the Value Set Authority codes to reflect Antigen tests
