I would kill to be able to either delete or move down the ICD-9 soon to be ICD-10 codes that are not used down. I mean when a patient has a hurt knee due to a likely sprain, I would like an ICD code that says "left knee pain likely due to sprain" that pops up first, rather than "left knee pain secondary to tuberculosis and sarcoidosis" an ICD code which I will never use. Half the time, I just type them in.
It seems as though whoever came up with these codes lived in an area with a tuberculosis prevalence of 90%.
