The most commonly used diagnosis codes are included in My Vision Express. Diagnosis codes are required when processing insurance and orders. The Diagnosis Code (ICD-9 code) is required with the procedure code on the CMS/HCFA 1500 Form.

Up to four diagnosis codes can be added to a particular order. When users generate an insurance record from the Order screen, the diagnosis information is automatically populated in the Insurance screen and the CMS/HCFA form from the order. Users can access the Insurance screen by clicking the Insurance icon on the toolbar or selecting File > Insurance from the menu bar. For more information, refer to the Insurance Companies Setup section.

You can directly enter diagnosis codes into insurance records to be printed on the CMS/HCFA 1500 Form.
