There are two ways in which ICD-10 Codes can be entered in the Diagnosis Code fields within an encounter. You can use either method or a combination of both methods to enter the necessary codes for the Encounter.
METHOD 1:

The first option for entering Diagnosis Codes is to either click the drop-down arrow next to the field or simply to begin typing. The list that appears is your practice's saved ICD-10 Diagnosis Code Records. To make inputting encounters easier, we suggest saving your most recently-used codes so they always be there for simple and quick entry.
