Level-2 items in a chart can be mapped to a specific set of procedure codes and ICDs. A tab for procedure code/ICD mapping is brought into the Level-2 add/edit screen (see image below) to store the mapped procedure codes and ICDs. Users can enter values as depicted in Table 1.1.1 and save the changes.
Fields for Procedure Code – ICD Mapping

Group Code | Select Procedure Code or ICD |
Value | Provide the first 3 characters of the selected procedure code or ICD. When matching entries emerge, select one |
Code | This is populated as per the entry in the Value field |

While charting, in the Level-2 popup screen, users can view the mapped ICDs and procedure codes with a link icon under other Level-2 downs. Select Level 2 using the check box provided, and save the Level 2 component.
The mapped procedure codes and ICDs will appear under the Billing and ICD-10 components of the chart, respectively.
