Hello All,
Can someone tell me what I can do to prevent this short code from returning "0" in the text translation?
{MEL_ADD_ORDER("S","MU Tracking","Patient Encounter for CQMs", "", "ICD-V68.89", "Encounters for other specified administrative purpose", "", "", "", "", "")}
The order is being added as expected but it's returning "0" in the text translation of the document. I should note that the description ("Patient Encounter for CQMs") is associated with a SNOMED code (SCT-308335008) that I manually typed in since you can only search for CPT codes. My understanding is that you can do this for CQR purposes so that might not have any relevance.
Here is the MEL trace:
09/10/2015 11:17:42.767 INFO Process Id #3360 ML Thread [MelTrace] execute>call MEL_ADD_ORDER("S", "MU Tracking", "Patient Encounter for CQMs", "", "ICD-V68.89", "Encounters for other specified administrative purpose", "", "", "", "", "")
09/10/2015 11:17:42.830 INFO Process Id #3360 ML Thread [MelTrace] results>"0"
09/10/2015 11:17:42.830 INFO Process Id #3360 ML Thread [MelTrace] execute>end
09/10/2015 11:17:42.830 INFO Process Id #3360 ML Thread [MelTrace] results>"0"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just add empty quotes after the closing parenthesis, like below
{MEL_ADD_ORDER(“S”,”MU Tracking”,”Patient Encounter for CQMs”, “”, “ICD-V68.89″, “Encounters for other specified administrative purpose”, “”, “”, “”, “”, “”) ""}

It returns a Zero when the MEL_ADD_ORDER works correctly, and it returns different numbers when a problem occurs. here are the error codes.
-1 : Invalid Order Type
-2 : Invalid order category
-3 : Invalid Description
-4 : Order obsolete
-5 : Invalid Diagnosis Code
-6 : Comments field too long
-7 : Invalid Priority
-8 : Invalid or obsolete authorizing provider
-9 : Invalid order date
-10: Invalid Modifier
-11: Additional information is required for this order
-12: Unequal number of diagnosis codes and diagnosis code descriptions
-13: Invalid quantity or units
Depending on where you are using the code, it can end up puting that number into the text. follow gibsonmi's advice above and see if that solves your problem.
