ISVALID Function

Use: Checks a diagnosis (ICD) or procedure(CPT4) code for validity. The IFELSE function can be used to display a message to the user. For diagnoses, the ISVALID function can be used to compare ICD-9 code effective and expiration dates to the encounter date. When a diagnosis search is made for an invalid ICD-9 code, the window opens in ICD Legacy Mapping mode, showing the equivalent ICD-10 codes. If an ICD-9 or CPT code has a delete_ind = Y, the function returns an invalid result. Syntax: {ISVALID( «table» , «code1», «code2»,,,, )} Arguments: «table» DIAG or PROC«code» Field(s) that contain the diagnosis code or procedure code Returns: 1 = Valid 0 = Invalid Example 1: Data entry field for procedure code = template_name_.Proc_code}{ISVALID( PROC , {template_name_.Proc_code})} Result: 1 for a valid code Example 2: Data entry field for diagnosis code = template_name_.Diag_code}{ISVALID( DIAG , {template_name_.Diag_code})} Result: 0 for an invalid code Parent topic: Functions

Insert a Note Field

The note field is saved as a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) file only if the contents of the field have been changed and the Disable Saving Blank Notes Universal Preference is set to True in System Administrator.
