Mental Health Diagnosis Screen

Diagnosis section

Many contracted Mental Health (MH) treatment service providers batch diagnoses information. The batch process results in a display of the diagnoses in the order submitted by the contracted MH treatment provider. The diagnoses batched into CBMHS from CARE may be edited by the contracted MH provider in the diagnosis screen. When editing the MH diagnosis screen, follow the directions below. For direct entry into the diagnosis screens, follow the instructions below.

The selection of diagnoses is done in the rows displayed. The clinician may enter up to 18 diagnoses. The clinician needs to ensure the diagnosis associated with the number one (1) is the diagnosis being treated. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the diagnosis being treated is referred to as the Principal Diagnosis. The clinician may arrange the numbers next to each line in the order of treatment services. The system will rearrange the diagnosis so they are displayed in the order the clinician selected when the clinician adds the diagnoses. To add the diagnosis or diagnoses, the clinician needs to CLICK ON the Add button.
