Code Groups are used to organize the diagnosis and procedure codes in TotalABA. Furthermore, code groups may be assigned to staff members to limit the codes that may be used by them. Go to the Codes Setup tab to access code groups. A code group consists of the following fields:

· Name – The unique name of the code group (e.g. Bachelor Degree Codes, Master Degree

Codes).

· Active – Indicates if the code group is active. This means it may be selected and is enforced for code groups (staff member & student) on a session.

· Allow All Modifiers – Indicates if all modifiers may be used with any procedure code (default).

If not checked, then each procedure/modifier combination that can be used must be selected

(e.g. H0031, H0031-HN, H0031-HO).

· Comments – Enter any additional comments related to the code group.

· Procedure Codes – Select which procedure codes should be part of the code group.

· Diagnosis Codes – Select which diagnosis codes should be part of the code group. A selection is not required if all diagnosis codes in TotalABA may be used.
