Documenting CPT Category II Codes in ExamWRITER
ExamWRITER does not autocode CPT Category II codes on non-Medicare exams. Here's how to manually add the CPT Category II code prior to finalizing the exam:
- From the Exam window, click the Coding toolbar icon.
- Click the Procedures tab.
- Search for the CPT Category II by number or description.
- Double-click the desired code in the results list to move it to the Selected Procedures list.
- Click the Link Codes tab to associate the CPT Category II with a diagnosis.
- Click Save/Exit.
Create a Task to notify the front desk staff to add the CPT Category II to the order. For complete instructions on adding codes to exams, go to To select procedure codes.
