Selecting a subset
Select a subset by finding and selecting it or by selecting a bookmarked subset:
Find and select a subset
- Find a subset using one or a combination of these methods:
- Select a product and category. (If you want to select a transition plan, select Transition Plan from the Category list.) If you have access to criteria from multiple years, select a content version.
- Enter keywords (for example, words found in the subset name).
- Enter medical codes (that is, ICD, CPT®, or HCPCS code).
-
After you select a product and version, use the Subset filter. When you start typing the subset name, the subset list filters based on the text you enter.
Note: You can access the Clinical Reference at any time after you select a product and version. Select Clinical Reference to access resources such as clinical revisions, criteria bibliographies, review process, and other supporting materials.
-
If you searched by keywords or medical codes, select Find Subsets.
When the results appear, the Results Count indicates the number of subsets that match your search criteria.
-

The subset notes appear.
- If there are multiple versions of the subset available, select the version based on the date of the request.
- Read the subset notes to get information about the subset.
- Optionally, view the medical codes for the subset by selecting Show Codes. Close the Codes dialog when you have finished viewing the codes.
- Optionally, view a clinical resource by selecting the link in the Subset Notes; for example, Review Process.
- If you selected a subset that has a clinical evidence summary (available for Molecular Diagnostics Criteria), view the document as follows:
- Select Clinical Evidence Summary.
- Depending on the options available, select Open or select Download PDF.
-
Use the controls in the PDF to save and/or print the document.
Note: If necessary, at any time, you can clear your subset selection by selecting Clear All or selecting Change Subset to select a different subset.
- Optionally, continue with any of the following tasks:
- Evaluate criteria in a medical review
- View criteria in Book View
- Look up information in the Clinical Reference
- Add a Transition Plan
- View a Transition Plan
- View a Quality Indicator checklist
- Print a subset
