Hi Peggy, Welcome to the Health developers' forum!
If you have both codes and textual descriptions, it's best if you send both. Health will infer the names for entries sent with recognized codes but without textual descriptions. However, we presently don't have a service for determining which codes are supported. You can determine if a particular code is supported by creating an entry via the UI, and retrieving the CCR via the GData feed. If both text and a code are provided, the text is displayed in the UI. You should certainly send codes if you have them, even if Health presently doesn't support them. The Version element is presently optional and doesn't affect how the name of an entry is displayed in the UI. Thanks for the great questions! I hope the answers help.
