4. Diagnosis Section

This section provides access to the diagnosis codes for this accession.

Click the Ignore button to ignore the edit, to not show it on this accession again. Once you have added a Dx, or diagnosis, code, the edit grays out. If that code is not payable, which also means that the issue was not fixed, then it displays again on the accession after the next scrub processing run.

Click the Send Letter button to generate and autofax a letter to the ordering client to ask for missing information. Often the letter requests a Dx, or diagnosis, code but it can be used for other things as well. Scrubs display a Send Letter button when the response days column is set to anything other than 0 in the ScrubParameters table.

If you need to add a diagnosis, start typing a diagnosis code in the Dx Search field to see the options for a diagnosis code. If you want to enter an ICD9 diagnosis code, start typing '09' to see the list of ICD9 diagnosis codes from which to choose.

Selecting a code, by double-clicking on a diagnosis code in the list, places that code in the field.
