  • cdt-synchronicity — SYNCHRONOUS is used as default if not present

  • cdt-billing-org — taken from Encounter Disposition first; falls back to Billing Form, then last CDT record

  • cdt-referring-provider — Organization Name is used if present; otherwise First and Last Name are used

  • cdt-diagnosis — taken from Encounter Disposition first; falls back to Billing Form, then last CDT record

  • cdt-npi — determined by Billing Type: SELF_PAY uses selfpaybillingorganizationNpi; INSURANCE uses insuranceBillingOrganizationNPI; if not set, taken from Billing Form, then User NPI in User Attributes
