Use Alternate Codes to meet Medicare/Medicaid Requirements
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2007 5:57 pm
With Medisoft, the Medicare and Medicaid specific procedures and diagnosis codes can be entered on your procedures and diagnosis codes as alternate codes. You then specify which Procedure and Diagnosis Code Set to use on the insurance carrier so no one has to remember them each and every time.
We recommend using Alternate Code set 2 for Medicare and Alternate Code Set 3 for Medicaid.
If you do this, then you only need to remember the standard procedure and diagnosis codes.
