Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Any way to add an ICD code?

I know this is unlikely, but is there any way to add an updated ICD-10 code? (In this specific instance for example, a hospital is requiring a more specific Dx code which didn't exist when the original ICD-10 database was installed with AC.)
AC 8.3

Thanks.

Kurt,

Don't know about 8.3, but on my 6.3.3, you can.
Go to the ICD database, search database.
There is a button for Add code.

Hi Kurt,

With ICD-10, there is no way to add a new code. There is a good amount of mapping behind the scenes with ICD10 that makes this impossible (on the plus side, it does make searching codes easier now).

I checked with support and in order to get the new codes DB, you would need to upgrade to the newer version.

Thanks, Mark. I see that the corresponding screen for ACv8.3 to that posted by DCubed (thanks!) does not allow editing, and I figured that AC 6.3.3 probably involves ICD-9.

That’s one of the reasons why I like my old version. I entered all the ICD-10 codes I use, and customize the names to my liking.

According to our dear friend Indy (RIP), 6.3.3 was the best and fastest version, and it was downhill thereafter.

DCubed, 6.3.3 is post MS Access, isn't it?

I don’t know, perhaps one of the technical folks can chime in.
