This post and several following have been moved from several threads.
Edited to insert:
This thread is monitoring the progress and outcome of the following:
1 Requests for creating new SNOMED CT Concepts codes for "Post COVID-19 syndrome"; "Long Covid"; Sequelae and late effects of COVID-19 (and similar terms) for addition to the SNOMED CT UK Edition; the International Edition; or any of the national editions.
2 Requests to the WHO for addition of terminology and codes for "Post COVID-19 syndrome"; "Long Covid" Sequelae and late effects of COVID-19 (and similar terms) to ICD-10; the various national modifications of ICD-10; and ICD-11.
3 Queries submitted by clinical coders or others to the NHS Digital Terminology and Classifications Query Resolution service in respect of applying ICD-10 5th Edition codes where the query relates to coding for "Post COVID-19 syndrome"; "Long Covid"; Sequelae and late effects of COVID-19 (and similar terms).

Request for the addition of a Post COVID-19 syndrome Concept for SNOMED CT:
I've been checking the NHS Digital submissions portal fairly frequently for any submissions requesting Concept codes for Post Covid-19 related symptoms or for a Post Covid-19 syndrome.
There is now a request:
https://isd.hscic.gov.uk/rsp-snomed/user/guest/request/view.jsf?request_id=32731
Request Submission Portal > SNOMED CT Submission Portal
Submission date: 19/08/20
Request 32731
Type
Add concept
Status
In Progress
Hierarchy
Clinical finding
Parent identifier
1240751000000100
Suggested name, term or description
Post COVID-19 syndrome (please double check with clinical bodies)
Priority
Very Urgent
Brief summary of the request
We would like to request concept(s) related to post COVID-19 syndrome or whatever the clinical community decide to call.
Description of the addition or change
My trust is the London COVID-19 centre and my respiratory consultants have expressed their view that currently there is a lack of post COVID-19 related concepts. These patients who either had COVID-19 (through confirmed PCR test) or a high suspicion of COVID-19. Nearly six months down the line, they started developing what they call “post COVID-19 syndrome”. Right now, we have been recording this using a list of the symptom concepts. You might want to work with the clinical bodies to author such concept request.
We need it urgently as these patients is not just a few. It is significant numbers going forward.
Request update
Source of authority
Provisional concept term
SNOMED International request reference number
