Code Custom Descriptions
You can add custom descriptions to ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes listed in DrChrono to use a more common language or preferred terms for your office by utilizing a Billing Pick List.
The picklist is made up of codes added to your fee schedule. Custom descriptions can be added to codes in your fee schedule.
1. Navigate to Billing > Fee Schedule.
2. Once on the main page, you can select CPT & HCPCS or ICD-10 to navigate to only those code types. You can also click +Add New to add a code type or click on the pencil icon to edit an existing code in your fee schedule.
3. Once in the code, you can enter your description in the Custom Description field and click Update when finished.
4. Once the description is added, you will see the custom description instead of the system-produced description.
