Certain conditions were a priori designated as "priority conditions" due to their prevalence, expense, or relevance to policy. Some of these are long-term, life-threatening conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, emphysema, high cholesterol, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and stroke. Others are chronic manageable conditions, including arthritis and asthma. The only mental health condition on the priority conditions list is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/attention deficit disorder. A list of conditions asked in Priority Conditions Enumeration Section is provided in Appendix 2 of the Medical Conditions File Documentation.
