EMR Charting
Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine EMR Charting ICD-10
Summary
Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine EMR Charting has been modified to allow users to enter ICD-9, ICD-10, or ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnosis codes. The system will not generate the list of ICD codes and descriptions selected in the Charting Note; instead, the information generated in the Charting Note comes from the Assessment information entered. The following changes have been made to accommodate this enhancement:
Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine will specify to the user which ICD version is expected by the payer. The possibilities are ICD-9, ICD-10 or ICD-9 and ICD-10. Users may not edit the diagnosis description of an ICD-10 code and obsolete ICD-10 codes may be entered or selected.
When in EMR Charting, on the Assessment tab, the system will not generate in the Charting Note the list of ICD codes and descriptions selected. The information generated on the note comes from the Assessment information entered. Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine has the capability to enter ICD-9 and/or ICD-10 codes on the visit.
The ICD-10 code can be set to an Inactive Status when codes are retired by CMS. ICD-10 descriptions cannot be modified due to a licensing agreement with CMS that allows for free access to the ICD-10 content.
The Assessment tab
The Assessment tab has two sub-tabs labeled ICD-9 and ICD-10.
- Each tab has a scrollable list box that will list the ICD codes. There are three columns in the list box. The first column displays the Rank, the second column is the ICD code, and the third column is the ICD Description. Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine will list only the ICD codes in each list box for the ICD version selected by way of the tabs (ICD-9 or ICD-10 and they will be listed in the rank order.
- Have 3 buttons to the right of the list box - ADD, CHANGE, DELETE
- The Add button will launch the new ICD Maintenance window (shown below). After the user enters/selects an ICD code, the Assessment window be launched.
- The Change button will only be enabled when a row is selected in the list box and will launch a new window that mimic the components that the user may currently select on the Assessment window and display the information from the selected for in the list box.:
- The Delete button will only be enabled when a row is selected in the list box and delete that selected row.
- Beside the tabs (ICD-9/ICD-10) Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine will display in BOLD and in the color red a message that states what the suggested version of ICD coding should be completed for this visit and associated charges "Suggested Coding Version is x", where x is either ICD-9 or ICD-10.
The logic for determining the suggested coding version is:
EMR Charting Workspace:
EMR_Charting_Workspace
Re-Assess Existing Diagnosis Button
For the Re-Assess Existing Diagnosis function, if there are no selected codes for the version selected (based on the tab selected), but there are codes entered for the other coding version, users should run through the Assessment window with the Assessment description of the other coding version. So, for example, if there are 4 ICD-9 codes on the Visit, and there are zero ICD-10 codes on the Visit and the user is on the ICD-10 tab and selects the Re-Assess Existing Diagnosis button, Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine will display the Assessment window once for each ICD-9 code, and the only item populated is the Assessment Description from the ICD-9 code.

Charting Note text
When generating the Charting Note text, if charting an item that had a selected associated problem, the system will include any ICD-10 codes in the text (if present), along with the ICD-9 code that is already there (if present). This will occur for all the types of Charting Wizard windows including the Charting Wizard Free Text window
Charting Wizard Smart Form
When a wizard has an Entry Type of Standard Multi-Step Wizard and the Fill in Data Type that is one of the following: Multiple Choice-Pick One, Pick All that Apply, or Visit Diagnosis, then ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes on the Diagnosis must be included in the Charting Note. In addition, if the wizard is defined for the Assessment, the system will add the ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes to the visits. Two windows follow this logic, the Charting Wizard Smart Form window and the Charting Wizard Standard window (when the wizard defined is too large to fit into the Charting Wizard Smart Form window).
ICD-10 Effective Date
When a wizard has an Entry Type of Standard Multi-Step Wizard and the Fill in Data Type is Visit Diagnosis:
- If the Visit contains only ICD-9's, Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine will display all defined ICD-9's;
- If the Visit contains only ICD-10's, Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine will display all defined ICD-10's;
- If the Visit contains both ICD-9's and ICD-10's, compare the ICD-10 Effective Date on the Clinic Parameter to the Visit Date. If the Visit Date greater than or equal to the ICD-10 Effective Date, then Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine will display the ICD-10's on the wizard, otherwise the system will display the ICD-9's on the wizard.
