Hi!
I have a question hove to create the claim with 3 or more procedures, and each procedure have 2-4 diagnostic codes. I just created claim with 4 procedures, and 10 diagnostic codes in total for 2-3 codes for each procedure code. System creating an incorrect claim, because it showing only 4 DX codes in field 21, and 9 numbers in diagnostic pointer.
I’m  using medisoft for billing, and medisoft splitting this kind of claim for separate claims, and each claim showing correct number of dx codes.
Is any body can help me, hove to make changes in system, to create 2-4 separate claims in one encounter.

Thank You

Don’t know if this is going to be of much help, but it’s a quick fix… Just split the encounter into 2 or 3 separate encounters for the same day. You can do that and you can create separate claims for each. I think that should solve your problem. I haven’t looked at what OpenEMR does with so many procedures and codes, but it may not be programmed to handle that many codes…

Hope that helps…
