LOINC Terminology Service using HL7® FHIR®
Access LOINC's terminology content through the HL7® FHIR® API
You can access current LOINC content programmatically. Our server uses the terminology services defined by HL7's FHIR standard.
FHIR version: R4
LOINC version: 2.78
Additional versions available via explicit request: 2.69, 2.70, 2.71, 2.72, 2.73, 2.74, 2.75*, 2.76, 2.77 More Info
The service base URL is:
https://fhir.loinc.org
*Version 2.75 contains errors and was replaced by version 2.76. We do not recommend accessing this version and it may be removed from this service in the future.
BETA Status
LOINC's FHIR services have a BETA maturity status meaning that aspects of the implementation may change without notice and/or the services may not be be available 100% of the time. The is partly due to the fact that the FHIR standard itself is evolving. For these reasons, we do not recommend using this API in a production setting. This Beta label is not to be confused with our content versioning designations. With the exception of LOINC Groups and Consumer Names, all content available from LOINC's terminology service is production level and current with the latest LOINC release. At present, no pre-release terms are available from this API.
You can visit our dedicated User Forum to discuss this server. If you notice something not working as expected, please let us know.
Definitions
This primer will familiarize you on FHIR terminology concepts and how they are used within LOINC's implementation. We will also let you know what you need to get started with this LOINC API and provided examples.
FHIR resource
A FHIR resource is an individual specification for how to represent a particular concept related to healthcare. Currently more than 100 FHIR resources have been defined, including clinical (Medication, Immunization, Diagnosis), people or organizations (Patient, Provider), financial (Claim, Account), security (Provenance, AuditEvent), and terminology (CodeSystem, ValueSet).
Select FHIR terminology resources
- CodeSystem
- Describes key elements of a terminology (i.e., code system).
- ValueSet
- Identifies a set of codes from one or more code systems that is used for a specific purpose. LOINC Answer lists and LOINC Groups are examples of value sets provided by the LOINC FHIR terminology server.
- ConceptMap
- Defines a mapping between one or more concepts in one code system to one or more concepts in another code system. LOINC Part to SNOMED CT concept and LOINC term to RadLex Playbook concept are examples of concept maps.
Operation
An operation is a command that specifies an action performed on a resource.
Select FHIR terminology operations/parameters
- $lookup
- Returns information about a specific resource, such as a concept (e.g., LOINC term or Part), ValueSet (e.g., LOINC Answer list), or ConceptMap.
- $expand
- Returns the set of codes included in a ValueSet.
- $validate-code
- Checks to see if a specific code is in a given ValueSet.
- $translate
- Use with the ConceptMap resource to find all of the concepts a particular source concept is mapped to.
- property
- Specific information about a resource. There are general properties defined across code systems (e.g., ), as well as specific properties defined within the LOINC code system (e.g., VersionFirstReleased, COMPONENT, ORDER_OBS, CLASSTYPE). Use with $lookup to return only the information related to that property.
- designation
- Designations within FHIR are described as additional representations of a given concept. They are used in the LOINC TS to provide non-English translations and alternate names.
You need a LOINC login
All requests to LOINC's FHIR terminology server require a LOINC username and password. If you do not already have a LOINC account, you may sign up for free.
Your LOINC account also enables you to download LOINC files, use SearchLOINC, and participate in our Forum.
Tips on using examples
All provided examples will work within a browser. You will need to provide your login information upon the first request of a session. We also suggest using the free Postman software as an API client.
Each example includes a button so you may copy the URL and paste it into a browser window or within a Postman GET request. (As with the browser, you will need to provide your credentials using Postman’s Basic Auth option.)

Versioning of resources
As of April 2022, LOINC's Terminology Service supports previous versions of CodeSystem, ValueSet, and ConceptMap resources. Below you will see how to reference a particular LOINC version as part of requests to these three API endpoints. A request which does not specify a version will always return the current version of the terminology. Presently, LOINC versions 2.69 through current are available.
Translations as designations
LOINC's Linguistic Variants are provided as designations. Available translations are automatically returned on CodeSystem $lookup and ValueSet $expand operations. This functionality was introduced with the April 2022 TS update.
In addition to translations, designations support alternate names for concepts defined in LOINC. Consumer Names and Short Names are now available as designations. (See this important disclaimer regarding the maturity and use of Consumer Names.)
CodeSystem
The CodeSystem resource specifies a set of codes drawn from one or more code systems. Code systems define which codes (symbols and/or expressions) exist, and how they are understood.
We have created a canonical definition of how to represent LOINC as a CodeSystem in FHIR that extends its representation to include more LOINC-specific features. LOINC's CodeSystem definition is available for download available at https://loinc.org/fhir/loinc.xml (sourced by this repository on GitHub). With the LOINC 2.68 release, we expanded the LOINC-specific properties available in our FHIR representation to include those that are published in the LoincPartLink_supplementary file, which is available in the Part file.
NOTE Over time, we do anticipate updating this canonical definition in collaboration with the FHIR and LOINC community.
The following are identifiers within the LOINC code system. All are included within the LOINC CodeSystem resource.
LOINC Codes
e.g. 21176-3
LOINC Parts
e.g. LP31755-9
LOINC Answer Lists
e.g. LL715-4
LOINC Answers
e.g. LA11165-0
All LOINC fields are now represented as Properties
NEW As of the March 2023 TS update, all LOINC fields now exist as CodeSystem Properties within this terminology service. Previously only a subset of fields from the LOINC table structure were defined as Properties. This brings parity between the downloadable version of LOINC and the content available from this API.
You can see this quick reference of all CodeSystem Property values, including specialty ones for Radiology and Document Ontology. Alternatively, you can also refer to LOINC's CodeSystem definition, loinc.xml, included in our downloadable distribution or on GitHub.

Get info on an individual LOINC term, Part, Answer List, or Answer string
Use the $lookup operation to see details on any of the LOINC identifiers. As illustrated in the following examples, you can pass the canonical LOINC URI and code to the CodeSystem endpoint to perform the operation.
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=4544-3
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=LP31755-9
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=LL1162-8
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=LA6751-7
Focus the request to return just what you want
Add a third parameter, &&property, to the examples above and you can limit the response to only the property—or properties—needed. As shown in the second example below, you can specify more than one property in a single request.
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=4544-3&&property=METHOD_TYP
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=4544-3&&property=METHOD_TYP&&property=VersionFirstReleased
CodeSystem versions
Provide a LOINC version identifier (e.g. 2.69) to retrieve previous versions of concepts in LOINC.
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=LP14542-2&version=2.71
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=96595-4&version=2.69
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=96595-4&version=2.70
If you examine the responses from the second and third examples above, you will see its CLASS changed from HEM/BC to CHEM.
The following request returns an error as expected because the code was not present in version 2.71 of LOINC.
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=99463-2&version=2.71
Find relationships between LOINC terms and Parts
LOINC terms and Parts have relationships via the LOINC Component Hierarchy by System. These relationships can be found by using the $lookup operation in conjunction with the parent and child properties.
LOINC Parts have a single parent and one or more children.
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=LP14542-2&&property=parent
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=LP28725-7&&property=parent
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=LP203649-1&&property=child
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=LP31448-1&&property=child
Because LOINC terms only exist at the leaf-level in the Component Hierarchy by System, they will have a parent but no children.
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=30064-0&&property=parent
https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=79207-7&&property=parent
ValueSet
FHIR's ValueSet resource specifies a set of codes drawn from one or more code systems.
In LOINC's case, we have defined three main types of value sets:
Return the ValueSet definition
The examples below show how to call the ValueSet resource directly to give back the whole resource entry. This returns all of the metadata and definition criteria for a value set, including, for extensional value sets, which terms it includes. For example:
https://fhir.loinc.org/ValueSet/?url=http://loinc.org/vs/LL1162-8
Alternatively, you can specify the same value set as:
https://fhir.loinc.org/ValueSet/LL1162-8
Get the list of terms in the ValueSet
Use the $expand operation to only return the terms in a given value set (called a value set "expansion"), without the value set metadata.
https://fhir.loinc.org/ValueSet/$expand?url=http://loinc.org/vs/LL1162-8
Determine if a term is in a ValueSet
Use the $validate-code operation to verify if a particular term is in the given ValueSet. This example will return a valueBoolean of true.
https://fhir.loinc.org/ValueSet/LG33055-1/$validate-code?system=http://loinc.org&code=8867-4
ValueSet versions
You can retrieve the details and members of most ValueSet resources as they existed in previous LOINC versions. The version number is supplied as a suffix to the resource identifiers.
https://fhir.loinc.org/ValueSet/$expand?url=http://loinc.org/vs/LG51018-6-2.70
https://fhir.loinc.org/ValueSet/$expand?url=http://loinc.org/vs/LG51018-6-2.71
https://fhir.loinc.org/ValueSet/$expand?url=http://loinc.org/vs/LG51018-6-2.72
In responses returned by the previous examples, you can see how constituents of the LG51018-6 Group for SARS-CoV-2 serology tests increased from 28 to 29 to 33 members in each subsequent LOINC version. Again, requests without a version suffix will always return the most current version of the ValueSet.
Note that previous versions of intensionally-defined ValueSet resources are not possible due to their rule-based nature. Versioning of some named collections (as opposed to those identified by a LOINC code) referenced below is not yet enabled.
Public health value sets
We have defined several new subsets of LOINC terms related to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 testing and reporting. The first three are LOINC Groups, which we are specifically calling out here so that they will be easily accessible, and the fourth is a value set for LOINC terms related to public health case reporting. These terms may be used in other contexts besides the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each value set is given below with:
- The URL to return its definition; and
- The URL to return its expansion.
Remember, the definition for extensional value sets returns the set of LOINC terms included in that value set.
These FHIR value sets only include published LOINC terms. The full list of released and pre-release LOINC terms related to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 is available at https://loinc.org/sars-cov-2-and-covid-19/.

LOINC Answer Lists as Value Sets
Brief background on answer lists in LOINC
LOINC contains links between many of its observation terms and a set of possible answers that could be used as result values. Within LOINC, we have created a structured representation of these answer lists.
LOINC Answer Lists are assigned a non-semantic identifier with a “LL” prefix and a Luhn/mod-10 check digit. The individual answers (called LOINC Answers) within a list are assigned a non-semantic identifier with a “LA” prefix and a mod-10 check digit. The answer codes LOINC assigns are unique by lexical string (ignoring capitalization), and by intention do not distinguish between strings that may have different meanings depending on their contextual use.
Using LOINC Answer Lists
LOINC Answer Lists represent collections of coded concepts that can be used as response values to LOINC terms. The canonical URI pattern for identifying the value set defined by a LOINC Answer List is: http://loinc.org/vs/{LOINC Answer List code}

LOINC Groups as Value Sets
LOINC Groups are a technique for rolling up groups of LOINC terms that could be treated as equivalent or useful for various purposes. For example, you may want to aggregate data for displaying on a flowsheet within an electronic health record (EHR) system, retrieve data for quality measure reporting, or process data for research.
Each LOINC Group is assigned a non-semantic identifier with a “LG” prefix. The LG codes serve as a coded value set identifier. As such, they correspond to a particular “definition” of what should be included in the group. Following best practices, LOINC Groups intend to keep the logical definition stable in meaning over time. However, the members of the group may change as the underlying terminology (LOINC) evolves. For example, new concepts may be added that fulfill a group’s definition and are thus included.

ConceptMap
The ConceptMap resource in FHIR defines a mapping from one set of concepts defined in a code system ("source") to one or more concepts defined in other code systems ("target").
We have created the following bidirectional concept maps and will continue to add to these over time.
In the examples below, calling the ConceptMap resource directly gives you back the whole resource entry for the specified set. This will give you all the ConceptMap metadata, the mappings, etc. Each ConceptMap resource is referenced using its canonical URI.

Equivalence
Each individual map has an equivalence value that indicates whether the source and target concepts are equivalent or whether one is broader or narrower in meaning than the other. Note that FHIR defines the equivalence as going from the target concept to the source, so if the equivalence value is "narrower", that means the target concept is more specific than the source concept.
For example, LOINC 30657-1 (MR Brain WO contrast) is mapped to RPID479 (MR Head wo IV contrast) with equivalence "equivalent" while the same LOINC term is mapped to RPID593 (MR Head wo IV contrast Pediatric) with equivalence "narrower", because RPID593 is specific for pediatric patients.

ConceptMap versions
Similar to versioning of ValueSet resources, you can supply a suffix to the ConceptMap identifier to retrieve past versions.

Questionnaire
FHIR's questionnaire resource provides a way to represent a set of questions in a structured format along with associated information such as answer lists, instructions, and skip logic. Starting with the 2.68 release, we implemented LOINC panels using R4 questionnaire resources. Our current deployment renders the LOINC panels as they are currently represented in the database; in addition, we have begun adding features, such as computable skip logic, to a subset of LOINC panels represented as FHIR questionnaires.
Return a LOINC panel as a FHIR questionnaire
The following examples show how you can return a LOINC panel as a FHIR questionnaire using the canonical LOINC URI pattern for questionnaires: http://loinc.org/q/{LOINC #}.
https://fhir.loinc.org/Questionnaire/?url=http://loinc.org/q/89689-4
https://fhir.loinc.org/Questionnaire/89689-4
Using this call will return the full LOINC panel, including all of the Answer lists contained in that panel as value sets, the binding between each LOINC question term and its specific Answer List, and any codes or scores contained in each list. Note the enableWhen values, which represent computable skip logic, in the second example below.

Known Issues
- The service maintains a BETA status.
- Some previous versions of ConceptMap resources are not yet operational.
- Expansion of select parent LOINC Group codes is failing.
- Within the CodeSystem resource, some Radiology properties are duplicated on select terms, e.g. 36554-4. The terms for which there are duplicate properties are those that are mapped to multiple RPID codes in the LoincRsnaRadiologyPlaybook.csv file. Each LOINC-RPID mapping has its own set of rows for each of the Radiology attributes (properties) in the .csv file, so when a LOINC is mapped to more than one RPID, there will be multiple rows for each attribute. Because the Radiology properties in the FHIR representation are loaded from the .csv file, the multiple rows per attribute wind up as duplicates.
