Hello,
I am updating a form for ICD-10 and ran into an issue and I wondering if anyone else has seen this. On the form we have a button that calls MEL_ADD_ASSESSMENT(). For reference sake this is the example that comes with CPS:
{MEL_ADD_ASSESSMENT("DX OF","CHOLERA","ICD10-S34.9","C","Pt traveled abroad recently")}
I tried using this:
MEL_ADD_ASSESSMENT("Dx of", "Essential hypertension", "ICD10-I10", "C", "")
I also tried this:
MEL_ADD_ASSESSMENT("Dx of", "Cardiomyopathy in other diseases classified elsewhere", "ICD10-I43", "C", "")
In both cases I got back a -5 error code which I believe means it cannot find the problem code that I sent. I know that I10 and I43 are acceptable per my ICD-10 code book and also looking at the problems module in CPS. Also for reference, I tried sending this and it worked:
MEL_ADD_ASSESSMENT("Dx of", "Hyperlipidemia", "ICD10-E78.5", "C", "")
If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Brad
Make sure the diagnosis description and code match exactly what is in the patient's active problem list. Code can be in ICD10 or ICD9.
I had to take out and put back in commas for a listbox that goes with the button... it looks like I didn't put them back exactly in the description. Thanks for the heads up Mike. I thought it was looking just at the code.
