Nothing you've said is wrong, but (at least in the screenshot) the OP didn't say anything about it being used in anything official. It's a relatively common term in everyday language thanks to medical dramas which use coding a lot, and it's even in the Merriam-Webster medical dictionary.

Not to invalidate what you've said! Just pointing out that it not being used in official contexts doesn't make it nonsense to use elsewhere, like on some forum.
