Adding a Tracked Diagnosis from the Patient's Problem List to the ICD Billing List

You can add a diagnosis from a patient's problem list to ICD billing list for that patient.

A chronic or tracked condition diagnosis from the patient's problem list can be added to the ICD billing list. This causes the diagnosis to be associated with an ICD billing code, and enables it to be associated with a care guideline.

  1. Open NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
  2. Select the Care Guidelines link on any of the main template.
    The Care Guidelines template opens.
  3. Select Add/Update in the Care Guidelines panel.
    The Activate Care Guidelines template opens.

    • Select the Show my tracked problems check box to display only those diagnoses that have been assigned to the patient’s tracked problems list.
    • Select the No active problem check box, to indicate that the patient currently does not have an active problem.
