Your staff members may find that the procedure codes they use most often are not listed in the Procedure Codes list, and they have to click the More Codes button in order to access them. You solve this problem by adding procedure codes to the Procedure Codes list in the Patient Chart.

For example, procedure code D4355 is not listed in the Procedure Codes list by default. If the hygienists in your office treatment plan that code often, you can add it to the Procedure Codes list to help them enter this procedure quicker.

To add a procedure to the Procedure Codes list:

1. From the Office Manager, select Maintenance > Practice Setup > Procedure Code Setup.
2. In the ADA-CDT Codes tab, select the procedure code you want to add to the Procedure Code list and click Edit.
3. In the Treatment Flags group box, check the box for Show in Chart. When checked, this procedure code is listed under the corresponding category in the Procedure Codes list in the Patient Chart. You will not have to click <<More Codes>> to fully expand the category to find the code.
4. Click Save to save your changes and then click Close.

For additional information about editing procedure codes, see the various topics listed under Procedure Code Setup in Dentrix Help.
