Associating a Patient Problem List Diagnosis to an ICD Billing Code for the Patient

You can associate a patient problem diagnosis list to ICD billing code for that patient.

The Problem List panel grid on the Activate Care Guidelines template displays chronic condition and tracked condition diagnoses that are in the patient’s problem list. The problems are displayed with SNOMED® CT codes, which cannot be used for billing. If the diagnosis has not been previously billed, it will not have an ICD code for billing associated with it.

To associate a diagnosis in the patient’s problem list with a care guideline, first you have to add the diagnosis to the ICD Billing list for the patient. After adding the diagnoses, you can return to the Active Guidelines panel to search and select the diagnosis with its ICD code to associate it to the guideline.
