Diagnosis

The Patient file Diagnosis tab stores the patient's current diagnoses information. This information can print out on patient treatment plans, cover sheet and other reports. Claims can be configured to pull these codes if the payer doesn't require a Plan of Care for the patient. Otherwise claims are typically set to pull diagnosis codes from the Plan of Care record.
