Is anyone else having the problem of ICD-10 codes in the problem list "zeroing out?"
For almost every patient I have seen since October 1, the codes look like they are OK- no request to be more specific. Yet, the next time I see the patient the Assessment box has many of the diagnoses coded as "000". I get an error message saying the codes are not acceptable for inclusion in the superbill. Yesterday I had to redo the problem list on every patient I saw! In one case I couldn't order an imaging study till the whole note was written and coded.
Is there a way to prevent this? It would be a lot easier to get a request for more specificity when you do the initial entry. Some of them do that, but it seems that most do not.
