Is there a way to search for most commonly used codes in AC? I know it gives us CPT codes based on ICD-9 codes. A running tally of most common ICD-9 codes would be good. I am so glad I found this thread. After 6 months I did not know or had forgotten that I could rename the code descriptions. Some other EMR's have this function working better. You can type in hypertension and it will pull up the code for 'benign essential hypertension' - you don't have to remember to type benign, or hit 'contains' and get 50 different items with the word Hypertension. I don't know if the techs ever sit down with another chart, say ECW, running and compare these things. I too have the AAFP common codes card and I may go through and do some more renaming. Unfortunately, my brain patterns have already been modified to match the book, rather than the other way around for many of the codes. I am starting to think UNSPECIFIED POLYARTHROPATHY OR POLYARTHRITIS INVOLVING SHOULDER REGION (716.51) rather than 'shoulder pain'.
