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.
- Open NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
- For a patient record, open a new encounter.
- Open the Finalize template.
- On Evaluation and Management Coding, select the SNOMED Type (optional) link.
The SNOMED Type template opens.
- Select a SNOMED® CT code.
- Select Save & Close.
The
NextGen® HQM application uses the selected code at the registry reporting time.
Note: The code is not uploaded to the Procedures or Problems modules.
For more information on configuring SNOMED® CT® Codes in the SNOMED Type template, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the Custom DB Picklists System Template forNextGen®Adaptive Content Engine.
