# Primary Care Clinician Office Visit for CKD

## **Definition**

A primary care office visit during which CKD was addressed, identified as primary care clinician office visits with at least one associated CKD diagnosis code.

## **Purpose**

Used in the URSA-CKD module to identify whether a patient’s CKD was managed by a primary care provider.

## **Detailed narrative of logic**

1. As implemented in **Primary Care Clinician Office Visits for CKD**, encounters meeting the URSA-CORE definition of a primary care clinician office as obtained from **Primary Care Clinician Office Visit** and all associated diagnosis codes — from both institutional and professional claims, if applicable — are obtained from **Clinician Office Visit Document Aggregator**.
2. Visits with at least one qualifying diagnosis code for CKD (see value set CCW CKD), including non-principal diagnoses, are retained.
3. If any encounters meet all the above criteria but also qualify as a clinician office visit with a nephrology provider as implemented in **Clinician Office Visits with Nephrology Provider**, they are excluded (i.e., they are considered to be visits with a nephrology provider, not a primary care provider).
