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.

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
Element: Procedure CodeThe procedure code is the second of two
fields that uniquely identify a
