Define the availability of ICD and CPT codes at the Practice Level
A defined control of the availability of ICD and CPT codes, at the practice level, prevents billing errors, increases first submission rates, promote coding efficiency, gives administration notice of new services performed by providers and will define practice preferred services similar in function to a Superbill. The PM system already has the capability to define effective dates for CPT codes: starting and ending dates and the ability to make CPT codes obsolete. The EMR manager can only obsolete custom codes. Using common lists is insufficient for the entire medical practice because it is a provider level definition and fails to restrict them from looking at the ALL set of ICD-9 and CPT codes.

The PM system already has the capability to define effective dates for CPT codes: starting and ending dates and the ability to make CPT codes obsolete. The EMR manager can only obsolete custom codes. Using common lists is insufficient for the entire medical practice because it is a provider level definition and fails to restrict them from looking at the ALL set of ICD-9 and CPT codes.
Requested Steps to define spec: Setup starting and ending dates for ICD-9 and CPT code obsolescence based upon the sites scope of practice and defined services.
Expected Result: Practice defined ICD-9 and CPT code sets
Actual Result:
Impact on Workflow: Prevention of billing errors, increased first submission rates, promote coding efficiency for providers, administrative notice of new services performed by providers and will practice preferred services defined by the practice.
