What is the right way to install ICD9 codes in Openemr 7.0.2?

I see only ICD10 is available under external data loads.

Just curious, given that ICD-9 has been obsolete since 2015, of what use would ICD-9 codes be now? Any kind of billing activity or interaction with other healthcare entities is going to require ICD-10.
That being said, even in OpenEMR V7.0.2, there is an old ICD-9 code file included under …/contrib/icd9 if you really want to load them for some reason.

Big world. Insurance is using icd9 here.
I found the files before. I hadn’t checked the structure yet though. I’m guessing I am to dump this in the codes table? Nowhere else?

hi @tatakai, you could look at the commit where it was removed and add back in the relevant pieces. Good luck!

I went with figuring out manually adding them to the codes table. I’m trying to avoid heavy code modifications. Sounds like creating future problems especially while being an amateur with php.

The below is for anyone who ends up here, as I know there can be a lot of questions that go unanswered.

I used phpmyadmin to modify the codes table. I separate codes I add here by setting aside Id ranges for each type.

I imported the icd9 codes into excel then used excel to sql services to convert the excel file into insert statements with the codes table as the table to insert into. I’ve attached my sql file
adding icd9 to codes table norep.sql (2.5 MB)

This uses the id for icd9 codes so it worked after setting icd9 in the code types list to no for external (the last option)
