  • NOTE - The Dx Codes displayed will be determined by the dates entered in the Consults From and the Consults To date boxes. For dates prior to October 1, 2015, the ICD 9 codes will be displayed. For dates on or after October 1, 2015, the ICD 10 codes will be displayed. Selecting the Consult date range prior to entering the DX codes will make this process go smoother.
