Selecting Diagnosis Codes
Feature Description

Selecting a diagnosis code refers to searching for and adding a diagnosis code to the list of diagnoses for the order. Copia applies every diagnosis code you add to each order choice in the order. As it does so, Copia determines whether an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) is required based on the selected diagnosis and the patient's insurance. Note that diagnosis codes are not required for orders that will be billed directly to the patient.

Selecting Diagnosis Codes

  1. Select the diagnosis code(s) by entering one or more letters or numbers, clicking Search, and selecting a diagnosis code in the Diagnosis Search page. See the Diagnosis Search topic.
  2. Each selected code is listed next to the order choice names in the Order Choices section of the page.
  3. Once you select a diagnosis code, Copia determines whether an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) is required based on the selected diagnosis and the patient's insurance, the frequency limits for the order choice, and whether the order choice is set as a research/experimental order choice. If an ABN is required, the diagnosis codes are displayed in red. Note that diagnosis codes may or may not be required, and, if they are required for most orders, they may not be required for orders that will be billed directly to the patient and/or for orders for patients who do not have insurance, depending on the administration settings.
  4. If you selected an incorrect diagnosis code, you may remove it from the list. See "Removing Selected Diagnosis Codes" below.
  5. Click the Summary button to view or modify the list of diagnosis codes assigned to the order choices on the order in the Diagnosis Codes page. See the Diagnosis Codes topic.
  6. Once you have finished selecting diagnosis codes, continue placing the order. See the Order Patient Samples topic.

  3. Once you remove a selected diagnosis code, Copia updates the list of codes in the Order Choices section of the page.
