CXDIAGNOST FILE Case Cart Diagnostics The Case Cart Diagnostic file primarily stores all valid diagnostic codes. Before anyone can use the codes on preference templates or cases, the codes must be in this file. Before you set up this file, you must decide what diagnostic types you want to define. The diagnostic type is the first of two fields used to uniquely identify a diagnosis. The diagnostic type is used to identify different coding systems such as HCPCS (HCFA's (Health Care Financing Administration's) Common Procedure Coding System), CPT-4 (Current Procedural Terminology, 1994), ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision), and a code for your organization's own coding system. Use CX03.1 (Diagnostics) to add, delete, or change records in this file. The Case Carts system uses diagnostic codes to assign and validate diagnostic codes on preference templates and cases. In addition, form CX235 (Procedure Cost Vs DRG) uses the codes for reimbursement calculations. The Case Carts system uses the diagnostic code descriptions in all reporting and all applicable forms.

The diagnostic type is used to identify different coding systems such as HCPCS (HCFA's (Health Care Financing Administration's) Common Procedure Coding System), CPT-4 (Current Procedural Terminology, 1994), ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision), and a code for your organization's own coding system. CDI-DIAG-CODE Alpha 6 CX03.1 CX503 Diagnostic Code The diagnostic code is the second of two fields that uniquely identify a diagnosis. The diagnostic code is an identifier for a specific diagnosis within a diagnostic type. Diagnostic codes can come from many sources such as HCPCS (HCFA's (Health Care Financing Administration's) Common Procedure Coding System), CPT-4 (Current Procedural Terminology, 1994), ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision), and a code for your organization's own coding system. CDI-DIAG-DESC Alpha 250 (Lower Case) CX03.1 CX503 Description This field contains the description of the diagnosis. CDI-RELATIVE-WGHTS Signed 8.4 CX03.1 CX503 Relative Weight This field contains the relative weight. Relative weight is a multiplier used to calculate the reimbursement for treating a diagnosis. The higher the relative weight, the greater the payment to the hospital. CDI-GEOMETRIC-LOS Signed 5.2 CX03.1 CX503 Geometric Mean This field contains the geometric mean Length of Stay length of stay (GMLOS), when applicable. The GMLOS is a measure for the central tendency of nationally reported lengths of stay for a specific diagnostic-related group. A company compares its length of stay results with this value for monitoring purposes. CDI-ARITHMETIC-LOS Signed 5.2 CX03.1 CX503 Arithmetic Length This value is the arithmetic mean of Stay length of stay (AMLOS). AMLOS is the average number of days patients assigned a given diagnostic code stay in the hospital (also referred to as the average length of stay). Practitioners can try to get the lowest patient length of stay (LOS), using the AMLOS as a guide. CDI-OUTLIER Numeric 2 CX03.1 CX503 Outlier This value is the length of stay that triggers a reimbursement exception. The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) or another insurer provides this value. CDI-STATUS Numeric 1 CX503 Status This value is the transaction status. 0 = Active 1 = Inactive CDI-DIAG-DESC50 Derived Description This field contains the Diagnostic description.
