When the crosswalk is activated for one or more locations within the practice, charges for those locations are entered on the Charge Posting window in NextGen® Enterprise PM using one of the following methods: An anesthesia code is entered in the Svc Item field, and then the corresponding surgery code is selected from the crosswalk in the Surg Proc field. A surgery code is entered in the Surg Proc field, and then the corresponding anesthesia code from the crosswalk automatically defaults into the Svc Item field.
