I am having trouble setting up the ICD-9 codes. It was easy to enter the CPT codes that we use, but there was no drop down for ICD-9 codes. I have read some references to importing files on this, however we use about 10 codes. Is it possible to enter these the same way I did with the CPTs? Is there is a glitch in my system or must it be done by some import process? thank you! ---

Because only 10 codes need to be entered and not the entire data set, this default is not necessary.
