Definition	Diagnosis types are modifiers in i2b2 that are provided to help identify how a specific diagnosis code was associated with a patient. Depending on the type, these modifiers can identify if a diagnosis was made at the point of care by a provider or during billing. Admitting Diagnosis A diagnosis that was noted at the time of the patient’s admission. Encounter Diagnosis A diagnosis that was attached to the patient’s medical record by a provider during the encounter. Hospital Billed Diagnosis A diagnosis that is present on the patient’s final hospital bill. It may be interpreted by a medical coder from provider documentation, or may be taken directly from a code entered by a provider. Inpatient Encounter Problem List A diagnosis that was attached to a patient’s problem list for a specific inpatient record. This is not the same as a patient’s long term problem list. Physician Billed Diagnosis A diagnosis that is present on the patient’s final physician bill. Physician billing diagnoses may have been entered expressly for the purpose of justifying a particular test or procedure for insurance purposes, or to justify the visit itself.
