Hypoxia (medical)	23203	3	A prescription renewal for home oxygen following hospitalization requires an assessment of the patient for ongoing hypoxemia.
Cardiac catheterization	14200	2	Right heart catheterization, along with pulmonary function testing and other testing should be done to confirm pulmonary hypertension prior to having vasoactive pharmacologic treatments approved and initiated.
Oxygen therapy	16696	3	"should not routinely have a prescription renewal for continued oxygen therapy without a physician's re-assessment"
Computed tomography angiography	5650	4	CT angiography should not be used to evaluate for pulmonary embolism when other tests indicate that there is a low probability of a person having this condition
Pulmonary embolism	116795		Established clinical practice guidelines dictate the frequency of pulmonary nodule evaluation and surveillance for people...
D-dimer	33195	4	Chest computed tomography (CT angiography) should not be used to evaluate pulmonary embolism for persons with negative results of a D-dimer assay.
