Interface DiagnosisCodeIF

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, CodePositionalIF, CodeUlcerIF, java.lang.Comparable, Describable, EtiologyPairingIF, OptionalPaymentCodeIF, PrimaryAwardableIF

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDiagnosisCode, DiagnosisCode, DiagnosisCode_Empty

public interface DiagnosisCodeIF
extends Describable, CodePositionalIF, CodeUlcerIF, PrimaryAwardableIF, OptionalPaymentCodeIF, EtiologyPairingIF, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable

Holds the information specific to the ICD-9 Diagnosis codes (as opposed to a procedure code) that supports Home Health scoring. Dec 2010 - 3M - Refactored this class to allow method definitions to be more ala carte for the transition to I-10 coding.

Method Detail

clone

DiagnosisCodeIF clone()
                      throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

creates an exact copy of this object that can be manipulated separately without effecting this object

Returns:

creates an exact copy of the code, and should never be null

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

getCode

java.lang.String getCode()

Gets the code value

Returns:

getCodeType

CodeType_EN getCodeType()

gets the code type

Returns:

The code type integer indicator

getDiagnosticGroup

DiagnosticGroupIF getDiagnosticGroup()

gets the Diagnostic Group indicator

Returns:

The Diagnostic Group indicator

getOffset

int getOffset()

Gets the 0 based position of the code within the record's Diagnosis "grid". Introduced in V3312

Returns:

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Codes can be blank, and this will return true if it is

Returns:

isExternalCauseCode

boolean isExternalCauseCode()

This checks the current code value for a starting 'E'. Blanks are not considered 'E' codes

Returns:

true if the code begins with an 'E'

isValidCode

boolean isValidCode()

gets the valid ICD-9-CM code indicator. This would be specific to the grouper version and its code listing

Returns:

true if the code is valid for the grouper version. By default all codes should be considered invalid.

isValidForScoring

boolean isValidForScoring()

This value is used to determine if a code is used in the scoring or should be skipped. Codes that are blank should automatically be considered not valid for scoring

Returns:

true if this code can be used in scoring

isVCode

boolean isVCode()

Deprecated. - should use isOptionalPayment() or isPrimaryAwarding() instead

This checks the current code value for a starting 'V'. Blanks are not considered 'V' codes

Returns:

true if the code begins with an 'V'

setCode

void setCode(java.lang.String code)

Sets the code value

Parameters:

code -

setCodeType

void setCodeType(CodeType_EN type)

Sets the code type - must be either 1 for diagnosis or 2 for procedure

Parameters:

type -

setDiagnosticGroup

void setDiagnosticGroup(DiagnosticGroupIF dg)

sets the Diagnostic Group indicator

Parameters:

dg -

setOffset

void setOffset(int position)

Sets the 0 based position of the code within the record's Diagnosis grid Introduced for V3312

Parameters:

position -

setValidForScoring

void setValidForScoring(boolean bool)

sets the valid for scoring flag

Parameters:

bool -

setValidCode

void setValidCode(boolean bool)

Sets the valid code flag

Parameters:

bool -
