New Medisoft v19 Feature-ICD 10 Code Mapping Utility
Medisoft ICD-10 Code Mapping Utility Introduction
There is a new Create ICD-10 Code Mapping utility.
IMPORTANT: Have only ONE user at a time updating and creating codes.
New Menu Item
To access this screen, on the Tools menu, point to Services, and click Create ICD-10 Mappings.
You can also open this screen by pressing the C key from this menu.
New Screen
Use the Create ICD-10 Mappings utility to automatically create new ICD-10 codes that are mapped to existing ICD-9 codes or update an existing ICD-10 code with an ICD-9 already in your list. The 1:1 Mappings tab will show you the codes that can be mapped automatically. Select those codes you want and click Create Selected Codes.
An globe icon on a line item indicates that the ICD-10 code already exists in your list of diagnosis codes but it has not been mapped to an ICD-9 code. When you select the check box for this code, Medisoft will enter your ICD-9 code into the existing code in the table.
You can also change the code value listed in the New Code column by clicking in the field. In this way, you can customize a new code according to your needs.
The table below shows the fields and buttons on this screen with a description of each.
| Element | Description |
| Grid | The box shows you the ICD-9 codes and their corresponding mappings. |
| New Code | Select the check box to view the new code that will be created. If you want to change it, click in the column and enter your own code. If the new ICD-10 code already exists, you will receive a warning. You cannot have duplicate codes.In some cases, Medisoft will add a letter to the end of the new ICD-10 code. This will happen if there are several ICD-9 codes that can be directly mapped to a single ICD-10 code. Since you cannot map several codes to a single code, Medisoft will append a letter to create unique ICD-10 codes for each ICD-9 code. See Figure 17 on page 16.Note: the code with an appended letter is never used on claim forms. Claim forms will use the code in the ICD-9 or ICD-10 field, depending on the insurance carrier’s code set. |
