For MU, we have clinics that were not putting E&M / Visit codes into the Orders module. Obviously we need this now. Is there a way outside the client interface, to add these orders? I'm not hopeful. I assume we aren't the only ones in this boat. Is everyone manually appending documents to add these?
Thanks!

yep, we are going through the "append a document with an E&M" routine with our providers.
On a side note, I trying to create a form/text component that would be included in an encounter packet that would check for the E&M codes be applied in this update. It would be nice to have this function/value/obs term checked at the time of HOLDING or SIGNING the document. Stop the provider from signing when there is no E&M code entered. I am just getting into this development, but not having much luck.

You might try creating a text component that automatically adds a service order upon starting the update. (includes in the document template). The providers would just need to know not remove it from the orders module, as it would be unsigned until they sign the note or the orders:
Not perfect, but would keep them from manually needing to do it or appending the documents..
{'{if match(ORDERS_NEW("delim"), "SCT-308335008")==0 then
MEL_ADD_ORDER("S", "SNOMED Codes", "Visit Encounter", "", "", "", "Do not remove. Do not re-order.", "", "", "", "") else "" endif}'}

we are in the process of getting a kit from GE that will add a snomed code to office visits so that we can participate in PQRS.

Kerry, is that kit from GE for office visits going forward or something that can add the code to visits that have already taken place?

Did anyone ever get this to work correctly?

We have been running an Oracle script to add those codes. GE gave us the original script to do a catch up and we've tweaked it to continue running it on a regular basis.
