In LOINC lookup, you can search on the classtype and get a complete list and count. For example classtype:Clinical gives all the Clinical terminology. I can also get classtype:Lab and classtype:Survey to work. This allows for “1=Laboratory class; 2=Clinical class; 4=Surveys”. I am unable to find these terms documented anywhere since they don’t match what I did find (the bolded part in quotes. I can’t figure out how to display classtype 3 " 3=Claims attachments". I’ve tried every variation that seems reasonable but they don’t work. Does anyone have this information?

Hi Ruth, there are couple of ways to find these terms in SearchLOINC.
Or, you can search for everything using star (*) and then filter down to just the Attachment type.
I hope this helps answer your question.
