As part of the new functionality for the Surgical Codes screen, users will have the ability to “crosswalk” ICD-9 surgical codes to their new, updated ICD-10 surgical code equivalent and vice versa. Ultimately, this allows for complete freedom when indicating the most specific, applicable ICD-10 surgical code for each individual patient’s procedures. Please keep in mind that this feature will be used on a per patient basis so that, when specific ICD-10 surgical codes are designated for the procedure, it will only be applied to the selected patient.
1. From the Surgical Codes screen, begin by clicking (highlighting) the ICD-9 code for which you wish to crosswalk to an ICD-10 code.
2. From the section in the middle of this screen, titled "Surgical Procedure", click the magnifying glass button (
) next to the populated ICD-9 code that you have selected in the grid above. This will automatically populate the selected ICD-9 code into the Code Reference search at the bottom of the screen. If the user decides that the ICD-9 or ICD-10 code does not need to be displayed, for whatever reason, then the button with the red "x" over the document (
) next to the "description" field can be clicked to remove the corresponding code
3. After the selected ICD-9 code has been populated into the left side of the Code Reference search grid at the bottom of the screen, ensure the most applicable ICD-10 code is selected:
If an ICD-9 code has a one-to-one match then the user simply needs to, first, enter the Surgery date (if applicable) using the date field then click Save to lock this in to the grid at the top of the screen, under the ICD10 Description column.
If an ICD-9 code has multiple choices, simply click the most applicable ICD-10 code, on the search grid to the right, to select (highlight) it. Next, enter the Surgery date using the date field then click Save to lock this in to the grid at the top of the screen, under the ICD10 Description column.

Leaving the "crosswalk procedure codes" box checked will ensure that any ICD-9 code, selected from the search grid to the left, will automatically crosswalk to the corresponding ICD-10 equivalent(s) and vice versa. This box is checked by default. If an ICD-9 diagnosis code has a one-to-one match with the ICD-10 equivalent then the software will automatically select the ICD-10 code. If the ICD-9 code has multiple results as a match then the user will be responsible for selecting the correct ICD-10 code. By unchecking this box, the software will not automatically crosswalk a selection of corresponding ICD-10 diagnosis codes (whether it's a one-to-one match or multiple) when the user selects the ICD-9 code on the search grid to the left. |

Although it is not required to save the surgical codes, users must enter the Surgery date before clicking Save or it will not be saved with the line item in the grid at the top of the Surgical Codes screen. |
