Quick Codes give your practice a shortlist of go-to billing codes, so staff don't have to search the full CPT database every time they bill a common service. Once a code is added as a Quick Code, it shows up in the shortlist wherever you select codes for billing.
This guide walks through adding a new Quick Code from start to finish.
Before you begin
| Applies to | All Amazing Charts practices |
| Time needed | About 2 minutes per code |
| Access required | Your Administrator Options password |
| Heads up | The code has to already exist in your practice's CPT database before you can add it as a Quick Code. If it isn't there yet, add it first — see Adding a New CPT Code to Amazing Charts below. |
