What do I need to know?
The ICD10 Code Set field, in the ICD10 Search and Crosswalk areas of the Diagnosis Search dialog, has been updated with an October 1, 2022 – Sept 30, 2023 code set when searching for diagnosis codes or using the crosswalk functionality. In addition, the ICD10 Search and Crosswalk areas for this new code set have been updated so that whenever a diagnosis is mapped to an HCC (Hierarchical Condition Categories) code, an (HCC) indicator will appear after the diagnosis description to easily identify these diagnosis codes. You can toggle between the Oct 1, 2014 – Sept 30, 2016 code set, the Oct 1, 2016 – Sept 30, 2017 code set, the Oct 1, 2017 – Sept 30, 2018 code set, the Oct 1, 2018 – Sept 30, 2019 code set, October 1, 2019 – Sept 30, 2020 code set, October 1, 2020 – Sept 30, 2021 code set, October 1, 2021 – Sept 30, 2022 code set, and All ICD10 Codes, in addition to this new code set. This allows you to easily search for the applicable ICD10 codes that are active, as outlined by the CDC, for the applicable date ranges.
When accessing the Diagnosis Search dialog when adding or editing a diagnosis in the chart note in Clinical, the system will default to the code set based on the Note Date to ensure that the proper ICD codes for that date are selected. When accessing the Diagnosis Search dialog via the Edit > System Tables menu, the system will default to the code set based on the current day’s date.
When accessing the Diagnosis Search dialog via the Administration menu in Practice Manager, the system will default to the code set based on the current day’s date. When accessing the Diagnosis Search dialog when entering or editing patient information, the system will default to the code set based on the current day’s date.

What do I need to know?
The Charge Items dialog has been updated with a Billing Provider field, and corresponding button, that allows you to add or modify a billing provider for the charge items you are sending to Practice Manager. The Billing Provider field will default to the Provider selected if that provider is billable. If the provider selected is not billable, the Billing Provider field will default to the Default Billing Provider configured for that provider in Practice Manager. If the Provider field is blank, when a provider was not selected for the chart note, or if a Default Billing Provider was not configured for a provider that is not billable, then the Billing Provider field will be blank. You can add or modify the Billing Provider, as needed.
In addition, to better display pertinent information in the Charge Items dialog, as well as for space limitations, the Patient section of the dialog, which included the patient’s Name, Chart No., and Visit Date/Time, has been removed. This information is viewable in the title bar of the chart, and in the note header.
