• Add to Billing Diagnoses: when checked, marked as a billing diagnosis in the "Billing Diagnoses" tab.

ICD and DSM Information

DSM-5 is the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals in the United States.

To maintain the standardized DSM-5 list, users are not able to manage their own diagnosis list. This includes the inability to make changes to the existing codes and descriptions or creating new diagnoses.

Diagnosis Descriptions

The descriptions used in the diagnosis list are all the long form versions for each code set.

The DSM-5 code description is used for ICD-10 codes that belong to DSM-5. 

The ICD-10 code description is used for ICD-10 codes which fall outside of DSM-5.

Non-Billable Diagnoses

The diagnosis list contains every possible mapping of ICD-10 as well as current DSM-5 descriptions.

The diagnosis list includes two non-billable diagnosis codes that can be assigned to patients:

• No Diagnosis Entered Into EHR
• Diagnosis Deferred

These codes are for providers who are not allowed to diagnose their patients or for services that do not require an insurance billable diagnosis.

Neither of the diagnoses are in DSM-5, so the “Show DSM-5 diagnoses only” checkbox should be unchecked when searching for these codes.

Note: Any claims billed to insurance using these codes will result in a rejection, so care should be taken when using these non-billable diagnoses.
