So I am still concerned about not being able to store S/P CPT Code information in the problem list. Since day 1 (1998) we have done this and it has worked well.

Sure I can go to CCC PSH form and free text anything in there, but then how do reference that in Protocols, etc....

Should I go in and convert everyone's problem list that has had an appendectomy and remove S/P Appendectomy CPT-44950 and replace it with (ICD-V45.72) (ICD10-Z90.49) : Acquired absence of other specified parts of digestive tract?

The GE "mapping" did not do that....... so know we have CPT codes, but can't add any more, so we have historical data that is not going to match future data.

Can someone explain what the difference in having the S/P with a CPT code in the problem list vs. having an ICD10 code, pros/cons? Why do they even have procedures in the ICD10 Code set?

Not a coding guy, just a tech guy, but this one keeps bugging me.

having everything in the problem list was very convenient way for the doctor to get a quick total view of the patient, including family history.

Now family history as well is just blobs of text if using CCC FH. I really don't know what this form is doing.... it doesn't say it is writing observation terms....

HOW WOULD I REFERENCE THIS FH In protocols, reports, etc???

This really doesn't have to do with billing but directly to patient care.
