I can see your issues with that guys, and I do know that the ICD-9's and 10's are terribly set up and the search function in AC is not very easy to use. I have had my docs complain quite a bit about it because when they cannot find the code they are looking for they spend forever and usually end up putting something close and passing a note on to our billing staff coder that will correct it. Where you you type the code in? It won't let me type in a code in the ICD-9 field.
As you state in your own post, although I am not sure why you can't type the ICD-9 code in, the coding database has issues. Therefore, if it is difficult to code in the program we have now, it will be difficult to have a PM that is based on that.
So, no, I do not mean what you say in the first question, and I certainly wouldn't be so arrogant as to suggest what other users can and cannot understand. The beauty of AC is its simplicity.
