Diagnosis Categories

The Diagnosis Categories master file enables you to group diagnosis codes into a category that you define. The categories provide flexibility by allowing:

  • Administrators to restrict which practices have access to the diagnosis categories.
  • Administrators to specify that a diagnosis category is only for use by NextGen® Enterprise EHR, NextGen® Enterprise PM, or both.
  • Administrators to associate a provider with one or more diagnosis categories in the Categories tab of the Providers master file.
  • Users to generate reports based on a pre-defined list of diagnosis codes.
