There are a few ways in DrChrono to add diagnosis codes to a patient's claim. Which one is best depends on where you are in the system and what fits better in your workflow.
Adding directly to the appointment
- Navigate to Billing > Live Claims Feed > Inside patient's appointment > Line items transactions section
The primary diagnosis added in the box outlined in red will print first on the UB04.
- Additional diagnosis codes can be added in the box pointed to with the red arrow. The ICD-10 code or verbiage can be entered into this box. Diagnosis codes will print on the UB04 in the order in which they are entered.
Identifying POA diagnosis codes
While adding diagnosis codes within the patient's appointment, you have options to include or exclude each diagnosis from the patient's POA (Present on Admission) listing. There is a drop-down box to the right of the diagnosis that will show you available options.
Selecting from the Diagnosis Pick List
- Navigate to Billing > Live Claims Feed > Inside patient's appointment > Diagnosis Pick List
Any diagnosis codes added to the patient's problem list will appear. You can easily select the applicable codes for the claim and add them to the invoice. To unselect a diagnosis that is not related to the current invoice, simply uncheck the box to the left of the ICD-10 code.
