Searching for Diagnosis Codes from the Crosswalk

Integrated within the crosswalk functionality on the Diagnosis / Prognosis screen is a section that allows users to simply search for ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes based on a description or code entered.

Searching for ICD-9 Codes

1.    From the Diagnosis / Prognosis screen, click New.

2.    Enter the desired criteria to search for using either the ICD9 or Description search field (users can also enter "V" or "E" in the VE field) then click the Search Icon (magnifying glass) as seen in the image below. The sample image below shows a search based on criteria entered in the ICD9 search field.

By default, the "crosswalk diagnosis codes" function is set to "on". Having this box checked allows for the functionality of searching ICD-9 codes to match ICD-10 codes and vice versa. Users can choose whether search results will crosswalk to the corresponding ICD-10 codes by ensuring the box next to Crosswalk diagnosis codes is left checked.

3.    Select the appropriate ICD-9 code from the list of search results.

4.    Users can then choose one of the following options:

a.    Simply click Save without selecting a corresponding ICD-10 to match it with.

b.    Select the most applicable ICD-10 Code to match it with, using the search grid to the right, then click Save.

5.    After all diagnosis codes have been crosswalked for the selected patient, continue with Identifying Surgical Codes.
