Well, as far as I know, AC only uses 4 columns for the diagnosis. What I would do would be to click on the View menu option near the top of AC while it is at the scheduling (startup/main) screen and click on Codes. Then select the top left menu option (the only option) that says Edit Codes. Now select Edit CPT Codes and Charges. Select the radio button a little below halfway down the page to Add New Code and put in a fake CPT code such as 001 or 999 or the like. Put in a description of something such as "Extended ICD-9 Codes" and no charge. This way you can add that CPT to the visit also, if there are more than 4 diagnosis, and select the additional diagnosis for that CPT, in effect giving you 8 slots for diagnosis codes, or more if you put it in multiple times. Sorry if I am not making sense, I feel like I am not doing a very good job of explaining how this would help, but I promise it would :P
