Need to update ICD 10 codes - Suggestions needed

Management and Administration
#61

It’s not a new feature. When you upgrade to a new version of OpenEMR the files are moved in seamlessly but when you manually upgrade just the code set you have to do some custom work.

Not as relevant to the folks but as I was upgrading for 5.0.0 (patch 8) to 5.0.2 (patch 5), when I tried to push new ICD-10 codes (19 and 22), I discovered that the ICD-10 shows an error that it can’t find the folder. Turns out its a temp folder. Was able to satisfy that and even through code and successfully loaded 19 and 22 ICD codes (tried both from scratch). It was mentioned by @stephenwaite – but just to reiterate 22 codes need you to edit 2022-ICD-10-CM-Code-Descriptions.zip and remove that silly folder – moving the files to the root. It succeeds to “run” but still don’t load properly as we would see N18.3 instead of N18.30. Could there be issues? If this is not related to this thread but it seemed very similar to: the uploader is broken.

update: I was able to upload the 22 codes (succesfully) on 5.0.8 patch 8, which is very odd!

Hopefully someone is monitoring this thread.
We’re on v6.1.0 (1) and need to update ICD10 to the 2023 release.

According to this thread (as of Jun 22) the v6.1 external data loader is broken, has this been fixed?

I’ve downloaded the following zip folder;
2023 Code Descriptions in Tabular Order - updated 01/11/2023 (ZIP)
(https://www.cms.gov/files/zip/2023-code-descriptions-tabular-order-updated-01/11/2023.zip)

And, is the correct file in the zip folder; icd10cm_order_2023.txt ?

hi @hitechelp , you have to follow the steps that have been described here and in other threads.

  1. move the 2 zip files into the contrib/icd10 folder and the 2 older files out
  2. run the sql commands to load the new checksums into the db
  3. run the upgrade script

this also hinges on having the php mysql local infile allow set to true which you should then turn back off for security

Stephen,
Please elaborate; there are eight files in the CMS download. Which 2 files are you talking about? And, what sql commands you are referring to?

#67

hi @hitechelp , here are the files and sql statements

#68

Thank you Stephen
Looks like this was written for v7.0 to 7.1 upgrade.
Is this ok to run on 6.1.0 (1)?
