CXPROCEDR FILE Case Cart Procedures The Case Cart Procedures file contains the valid procedures for use in the Case Carts system. The system uses the file to validate procedure codes and to retrieve associated data for assignment to preference templates and cases. Procedure codes describe a procedure, test, equipment, or other case-related entity. You must define procedures in this file before using them on preference templates and cases. You can assign procedure codes to practitioners in the Case Carts system. The codes display on preference templates, case preference lists, and pick tickets. Each procedure in the Case Carts system is uniquely identified by a procedure type and procedure code. Procedures are stored in this file by using CX02.1 (Procedures) or an optional batch procedure. Once added, procedures can be assigned to a preference template. Sample code sets that can be stored in this file are the Medicare procedure codes defined as ICD-9-CM codes. (The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) defines the Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) and assigns procedures and fees for Medicare.) Procedure codes used for non-Medicare cases can originate from other regulatory bodies or companies, any of which might have its own codes and payment structure. Note: DRGs are a classification system for purposes of payment under the Medicare system that organizes patient stays by specific clinical diagnoses. ICD-9-CM codes are defined in the International Classification of Diseases, revision 9, and accepted in the Medicare system. The Case Carts system also allows entry of procedure codes using the following methods: 1. Using CX02.1 (Procedures) to add values manually. 2. Importing procedure codes with a Case Carts batch program (CX502 (Procedure Code Import)). 3. A combination of the above methods. Note: Blank fields are not allowed in this file. Each line started must be complete, data in all three fields.

The procedure type can identify the code set to which the procedure code belongs. For example, you can use one of the following codes: - CPT-4 for a code in the Current Procedural Terminology listing compiled by the American Medical Association -HCPCS for a code in HCFA's (Health Care Financing Administration's) Common Procedure Coding System, or - A code defined for your organization's own procedures listing. CPC-PROC-CODE Alpha 8 CX02.1 CX502 Procedure Code The procedure code is the second of two fields that uniquely identify a procedure. The procedure code is an identifier for a specific procedure within a procedure type.
