description: >-
  Cohere Health publishes a public glossary of utilization-management, prior-authorization,
  interoperability and clinical-AI terminology, including its own product names (Cohere
  Unify, Cohere Connect, Cohere Align, Cohere Complete) alongside industry and standards
  vocabulary (CRD, DTR, PAS, CQL, CDex, FHIR, CMS-0057-F, HEDIS, DRG, X12 278).
note: >-
  Term list harvested from the published sitemap and the rendered <h1> of each glossary
  page. The DEFINITION body is NOT present in the served HTML — each page ships an empty
  Webflow rich-text block and the definition is composed client-side — so only the term
  and its canonical URL are recorded here. Definitions were not fabricated. The per-term
  meta description is a site-wide template ('Learn what X means and why it matters in
  modern healthcare') and carries no definition content either.
