Importing Diagnosis Codes
Your ASP practice management software comes complete with the most current ICD-9 codes including V & E codes however; not all Practice Management systems automatically include these codes into your office key. Because each practice has a different specialty some offices may only use 20-50 specific diagnosis codes, and want only these available while other practices may want all diagnoses added to their database.
We will show you how to import a select few, or all of the diagnosis codes based on your medical practice needs. While you can import the recent updated diagnosis code, our training videos can also show you how to create custom diagnosis codes for internal use only.
