I added I10 for "Essential (primary) Hypertension" to go on our VSP invoices (haven't heard what codes they're taking now yet). The I10 is no longer showing up under Admin>Diag Codes whether sorted alphabetically or when I search for the code, but if I try to add I10 again I get a prompt that the Diagnostic Code already exists. Any thoughts? You say you 'added' I10..that code is already in the list as 'I10.' Are you saying you don't see that one? Or maybe the '.' is throwing it off?

The un-billable codes have got to go! I don't understand why they are in there.

We downloaded the "modified" list so I10 was not included, I added it afterward. I have the list sorted by Diag Code alphabetically right now. I10 is not listed, but it won't let me re-add it. I don't want to download the full ICD10 or even download the modified list again as we've been paring out the "unbillable" codes manually.

ok, so I10 is not in the modified list, but you can't add it b/c Crystal sees it in the full list. Crystal may have to see if they can fix that for you, but I think you may have more problems down the road when you run across other codes that are not included. I downloaded the full list, then exported to Excel and modified it and pulled it back in. That way, all codes are available as I need them. I just have to 'unhide' them. I never would have expected to use v61.33, let alone on the first day of ICD-10, but I did and would not have been able to using the modified list.

I had to delete a few on 10/1 that were non-billable but chosen anyway. :/ Edit: I deleted Exotropia: H51.0 from the list but its still showing up. It looks like you transposed numbers. Exotropia is H50.1, not H51.0 I assume these are imported from some master source by Crystal and it contained the all the codes, billable or not. However, it makes more sense for Crystal to have one person go through and delete the non-billables than for every office to do it. They can probably search through the data looking for insufficient number of characters. Marcia Yes, sorry about that I didn't edit before posting. I agree, I think its much easier and frankly in my opinion should be done from Crystal's end. Unfortunately its just me so there is no way I can go through and delete the codes that are not billable. I did it with ICD9 on crystal. Those codes were a breeze though.

I have a question that I can't seem to understand or find an answer for via web. POAG H40.11X_ I know that is requires a 1,2 or 3 as the 7th space to show the severity, but my question is one of our Doctors believes if its OU then we need to list the code two times on the record or claim?? Does this sound right to anyone?? Another Doctor in our practice feels its a bilateral code and since they does ask specific laterality then it does not seem necessary to list the same code on the same claim 2 times to show both eyes. Any insight of the rule for this? Thanks you in advance.

According to the AOA coding webinar, where you DO need two codes is on bilateral lid conditions where they specify eye, but there is no bilateral option. Marcia

If there are codes that we are not wanting to populate when our providers or billing department are in the system, is there a way to delete them? And is it recommended that we do not delete any codes?
We are trying to make it as easy as possible for our staff.

You can remove and add codes at your discretion... Remember to keep a backup of your current code list, as if you ever decided to download a new code list from CPM, it will wipe out your customizations. If you are wanting to make it easier for staff I would refer to mdeyedoc's thread containing her .csv file ( found here crystalpm.proboards.com/thread/1054/modfied-icd10-codes-unbillable-removed ) if you want access to a list of codes with the unbillables excluded.. A lot of organizational work basically done for you. At my office we decided to download the full list and train our docs and scribes on the difference between billable and unbillable codes. I also created a new assessment and plan page with new buttons to help organize codes into anatomical groupings, and in the process was able to eliminate many unbillables just by the specific description query you put in for the new Diag Drop Down feature.. It seems to work really well for our office.. You can download my A&P tab via the Import Template window in CPM (under Frisco Eye Associates ). Note that for all of the buttons to work properly you will need CPM's default full ICD-10 list. You could also choose to reprogram the buttons if you decide to use mdeyedoc's ICD-10 list, or your own list as well.
