ICD 10

Post by Jorgebon » Mon Mar 10, 2014 8:43 am

Does anybody know how this ICD 10 thing is going to affect us? Will we have to enter diagnosis codes?

It's not really ICD-10 that you have to learn, but rather SNODENT (Systematized Nomenclature of Dentistry). See: http://www.ada.org/snodent.aspx. I believe there is already a diagnosis field on the 2012 ADA Claim forms. Check out: http://www.ada.org/sections/professiona ... s_2012.pdf

It got pushed back to Oct. 1, 2015.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

I have just been to a symposium in Washington DC, diagnostic codes will become essential and critical in my opinion. Third party payors will require them. That said snomed and ICD codes are very cumbersome, several schools are using Dental Diagnosis Systems to make it easier, it is available at no cost, but has to be implemented in the software. I created a feature request 3949 to accelerate that process, please support it.
