Procedure codes can be edited to change the description, or the way a code displays in the Odontogram.
3.3.1 Editing a Procedure Code Description
To change the description across all of Power Practice:
- Go to Maintenance Manager, select the Insurance tab.
- Double click on the Procedure Codes icon.
- Type the code you want to edit and click search.
- Double click on the procedure code to open the Edit Procedure Code window.
- Change the Description as desired.
- Click Ok to save.
To change the description only in the Odontogram:
- Search for the procedure code using the
icon or select it from the Quick Button. - Double click on the selected procedure in the procedure code list found in the lower left, next to the Treatment Description box.
- The Edit Procedure Code box will appear.
- Type a description in the Description on Treatment box.
- Click Accept to save.
To clarify, changing the description on a treatment through the Odontogram (second method) will only change the description in chart, it will not change the description that appears in Transactions. To change the description for all of Power Practice, or to change the code’s valid related tooth age or locations, you have to edit the procedure codes through the Maintenance Manager.
