Orders Module and Unique NextGen Test Codes
Compendium files contain lists of orders that can be selected and attached to a patient encounter. If a compendium file has to be imported into NextGen, it has to follow a certain format. The NextGen test codes should all begin with "NG". If the NextGen test code happens to be same as the test code from another vendor and if the vendor code is part of a favorite list, then you see this favorite as part of the NextGen favorites.
