I noticed recently while using the CPOE form if a Diagnosis is selected that has an ICD-10 code but no associated ICD-9 if the Insert Orders button is pressed nothing happens. Using a diagnosis with a linked ICD-9 works the way it is intended. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, It is a known issue that is currently being investigated by GE, there is a whole conversation about it on the GE ICD-10 community

Make sure you have a description in the MEL add order function in the form and I recommend the description should be identical to the PM side lookup.
Example
OLD style ICD-9
MEL_ADD_ORDER("T", "Laboratory", "HbA1C", "", "ICD-250.90", "Diabetes mellitus, controlled, with complications", "", "", "", "", "")
New style ICD-10
MEL_ADD_ORDER("T", "Laboratory", "HbA1C", "", "ICD10-E11.8|ICD-250.90", "Type 2 diabetes mellitus with unspecified complications|Diabetes mellitus, controlled, with complications", "", "", "", "", "")
Notice that in the new style the ICD-9 code and ICD-10 code are separated by a pipe (|) and so is the description of the code.
I have seen examples of properly formatted new style combined ICD-10|ICD-9 where the descriptions were not identical in emr side and PM side and the pairing resulted in ??? Unknown code on the billing (PM) side.
Situation resolved by changing the description in the MEL ADD ORDER statement to contain the icd-10 description from the PM code.
Even So we are having problems on the PM side.
