proc_category

Parameter specifying the larger procedural category corresponding to CPT/HCPCS procedural code.

Usability Options:

• Selected proc_category parameter options may be leveraged in the CareQuery API as
  • A string: proc_category = "anesthesia"
  • A list of strings for OR logic: proc_category = ["anesthesia", "surgery"]
  • List of lists of strings for AND logic: proc_category = [["anesthesia"], ["surgery"]]

Help within CareQuery API:

Python

# import package
from care_query.care_query import CareQuery

# instantiate and connect
cq = CareQuery(email = "your-email", 
               token = "your-api-token")

# search parameter options available 
print(cq.glossary.list_options(parameter = "proc_category"))
