Display Current Diagnosis Codes in Treatment Notes
At times you want to display current diagnosis codes in follow-up treatment notes. There is a special question type that allows for this.
The PracticeQ patient diagnosis feature allows you to assign diagnosis codes to your clients to be used in superbills and insurance claims. These codes are typically added through treatment notes, but only once, as they save to the client's "Diagnosis" profile tab for use on future superbills or claims.
Add the Question Type:
- Click My Forms → Note Templates.
- Open the Note template to which you wish to add the question.
- Click the gray plus sign icon and select Add Blank Question.
- Select the question type Current Diagnosis.
This will pull any current diagnosis codes applied to the client via a treatment note. This will occur when the new diagnosis is added to the client's timeline.

Edit Diagnosis on Note:
You can edit the diagnosis on a Current Diagnosis question type for unlocked treatment notes. Use role settings to prevent certain staff members from having this access.
- Select the Note from the Client's Timeline.
- Click Edit. This will allow you to:
- Arrange the codes in the order you wish according to the focus of the visit. This order will appear on the claim or superbill.
- Remove codes from the visit note that you do not wish to bill. Note: This action does not remove the codes from the client's main diagnosis list. It only hides them from the note.
- Add any new diagnosis. Note: This action will add the diagnosis code to the client's main diagnosis list.
