Adding Custom Codes

This article is part of the systems administration guide. You will require administration access to view the pages mentioned in this article.

You can also load Custom Codes into the working diagnosis code set. This is done using the following code:

ICD.P:=92515-19;Sedation - ASA 19
ICD.P:=92515-18;Sedation - ASA 18

You may specify one of the following as a prefix followed by a :=, the custom code to use followed by a ; and then the description.

  • GEN (Disease Generic Code)
  • ICD.D (ICD - Disease)
  • ICD.P (ICD - Procedure)
  • DRG (DRG)
  • ICPC2 (ICPC-2)


Any line without a prefix will be treated as the default code type specified in step 6 of the steps below (e.g.,  92515-19;Sedation - ASA 19). This will create a ICD Procedure code for "Sedation - ASA 19" with the code 92515-19.

To add custom codes:

  1. Click Administration.
  2. Sect Patients Menu.
  3. Select Diagnosis Codes.
  4. Scroll down to Working Diagnosis Code Set Specification.
  5. Enter the CodeSet abbreviation and Prefix into this field - see above or worked examples below.
  6. If you wish to replace the entire set of codes in the system, tick "Delete all existing codes before importing"
  7. Leave un-ticked if you wish to add to the codes that are already available*
  8. If you select the Default Code Set with a value, you don't need to specify the prefix.
  9. Click Update.


Worked Example 1:

If you wanted to add the following ICD10 procedural codes:

92515-19; Sedation - ASA 19
92515-18; Sedation - ASA 18

Type the following into Working Diagnosis Code Set Specification:

ICD.P:=92515-19;Sedation - ASA 19
ICD.P:=92515-18;Sedation - ASA 18

Untick Delete all existing codes before importing.

Click Update.


Worked Example 2:

This achieves the same outcome as Worked Example 1. If you wanted to add the following ICD10 procedural codes:

92515-19; Sedation - ASA 19
92515-18; Sedation - ASA 18

Type the following into Working Diagnosis Code Set Specification

92515-19;Sedation - ASA 19
92515-18;Sedation - ASA 18

Un-tick Delete all existing codes before importing.

Select the Default Code Set = ICD Procedure
