As I use a separate billing program, I do like the ICD-9 diagnoses showing up in my assessment (remember I also still print off my encounters). My front office person can pull the note out of the printer and transfer the ICD-9 codes to the superbill before I ever make it out of the room. Once I complete my part of the superbill it is on its way to the biller where it is then entered into the PM program. Duplication, yes, but it works for us.
