As mentioned above, the procedure, diagnosis, revenue and ZIP codes are saved to a database. These four codesets have a slightly different codeset editing screen (shown below) but they behave in the same way. Since these codesets can grow very large, search boxes are provided to filter through codes or descriptions.
The slightly different "Procedure Codes" code set configuration window.
The codeset windows provide the following information:
| • |
Number of records in codeset — The total number of codes stored in the database. |
| • |
Codes and their corresponding descriptions. A short description, standards version (ICD), city and state (ZIP) may also be included, depending on the loaded code table. The codes are indicated in the source EDI files. The descriptions are displayed instead of codes in the result easy-to-read files. For example, for Remark Codes there are the following codes and corresponding descriptions: |
| • |
M1 - X-ray not taken within the past 12 months or near enough to the start of treatment. |
| • |
M2 - Not paid separately when the patient is an inpatient. |
| • |
M3 - Equipment is the same or similar to equipment already being used. |
4. Click on the "Save" button to save the changes. Changes to the procedure, diagnosis, revenue and ZIP codes are saved automatically to the database.
