Hi I was curious if anyone has any examples of hard coding Dx codes (either ICD-10 or ICD-9 or both) within MEL_ADD_ORDER.
I have a few examples of this where i am using an ICD-10 description as well as an ICD-9 description but was wondering if it might be better to have one description with a 9 and a 10 c0de.
Does anyone have any examples of how they are doing this.

If you use both ICD- and ICD10 in codes, you must have 2 descriptions as well, one for each code. - Beverly

MEL_ADD_ORDER("T", "Interpath Labs", "Occult Blood, IA (Probe)", "", "ICD10-Z12.11", "Colorectal Screening", "", "", "", "", "")
This is the standard way most of my MEL_ADD_ORDER codes look. only one code and one description. to make it an ICD-9 code, simply remove the 10 from "ICD10" and change the number after the "-" to a 9 code.
I did find one button that was using 2 dx codes. it looks like this.
MEL_ADD_ORDER("T", "Interpath Labs", "Lipid Panel", "", "ICD-250.00|ICD10-E11.9", "Diabetes Type II unspecified|Diabetes mellitus Type II", "", "1", "N", "", "")
You simply separate the codes with a "|" bar symbol, and the same with the descriptions.
