The Private Diagnosis can be used to enter either a Diagnosis Code or a diagnosis description that will print on a patient's private statement. If Private Diagnosis is left blank the Alternate/Sort Description is used instead. Regardless of what is entered for a Private Diagnosis the appropriate Diagnosis Code will print on the insurance claim forms.
Tip: You can enter a generic or general diagnosis description to print on private statements. This can protect the privacy of patients to which the statement is addressed.
