Select SNOMED CT Codes for Quality Reporting

If you do not bill from NextGen® Enterprise EHR but need to meet the visit-code criteria for Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs), you can use a SNOMED® CT code instead of a CPT® code.
  1. Open NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
  2. For a patient record, open a new encounter.
  3. Open the Finalize template.
  4. On Evaluation and Management Coding, select the SNOMED Type (optional) link.
    The SNOMED Type template opens.
  5. Select a SNOMED® CT code.
  6. Select Save & Close.
    The NextGen® HQM application uses the selected code at the registry reporting time.

    For more information on configuring SNOMED® CT® Codes in the SNOMED Type template, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the latest Custom DB Picklists System Template forNextGen®Adaptive Content Engine.
