Coronary Calcium Score

General
1

I have been in need of a LOINC code for the coronary calcium score. LOINC contains several concepts related to this but they appear to represent the performance of the CT that is used to obtain the images but not the score itself.

Those concepts are,

83289-9
89927-8
79087-3

I found an older post from 2013 which asks this same question but nothing since. Am I missing the existence of it?

Thanks,

Steve

Dear Steven,

I looked at LOINC codes we have w regard to coronary calcium score, and you are correct, I got these 3 codes that you mentioned in your post in addition to couple that are “discouraged”. All of them though are in the clinical domain “Radiology” specifically.
Maybe I am missing something, but if there is a need for a code , please submit using our submission process to create the needed code. Please ensure that you attach the necessary documentation to support your request.
Hope this helps. If you have additional questions, let us know

Thank you

Eza
