Update the Multi-Carrier System (MCS) Full Procedure Code Inquiry (PL Segment) Screen
The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to allow a user to enter the search criteria directly on the PL segment of the Full Procedure Code Inquiry screen when researching the related procedure ranges for a specific procedure code, modifier, type-of-service value, audit number, or effective date. The PL segment of the Full Procedure Code Inquiry screen displays related procedures that are subject to auditing relationships with other procedure code values and in the duplicate audit processing. This is an inquiry-only screen. The PL segment can also be accessed through the File Maintenance Menu (FMM) screen to make updates to the PL segment data. The users are requesting that the display limitation of eight procedure codes be increased, and a Program Function (PF) key be assigned to toggle back to the previous page on the FMM PL segment screen.
