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

Re: ICD 10
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

Re: ICD 10
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.

Re: ICD 10
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.
