If you tie ICD9 diagnosis codes to problems (in the Problem dictionary), the ICD9 code is sent to the interfaced billing system based on problems selected in the patient’s medical record. These values display in the Favorites Lists and the display names can be set by clients. Sample entries in this dictionary include: 789.0 Abdominal Pain 724.2 Low Back Pain 351.0 Bell’s Palsy This dictionary is filled with entries from the ICD9 external data source through the PMS This dictionary is called from: Problems TouchWorks Charge Encounter Form TouchWorks Charge PDA Encounter Form
