Is there a way to manually add a CPT4 code to a fee sheet without going to Aministration>Codes?

Hello: If a provider provides a service not usually performed in the practice, is there a way to manually add a CPT4 code to a fee sheet without requiring the user to first go to Administration > Codes to add the code? Much like a superbill usually has a few blank lines at the bottom for unusual procedures?
Thanks

If you have the correct permissions it goes the same. Check the Code type, click on New and add. Save.

'Not sure I made myself understood.
When creating a fee sheet from a provider’s paper superbill, if I come across a “special” procedure which is not standard for the practice, and which therefore does not currently exist in openEMR, is there a way, RIGHT FROM THE FEE SHEET, to enter that new procedure code and price level? Or must I pause what I’m doing… go to Administration > Codes and enter the new code… then go back to the fee sheet and it will be there?

Thanks again…

Ed,

I will do some research on this but I don’t think there is but the work around for this is to open a second screen to the administration so you don’t have to leave the fee sheet to enter the CPT that is not in the system.
