• Export #37 - List of Calls To Selected Location added to program.

• The DIAGNOSE file now contains both ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes. The correct code will be picked based on the ICD Indicator setting in the invoice. This allows the user to enter new ICD-10 equivalent values for existing ICD-9 codes.
• When the user enters a value in any of the ICD code fields, the program will search the DIAGNOSE file for a match in the Diagnosis field, ICD-9 field, and ICD-10 field. Any match will cause the ICD and description fields to be updated based on the ICD Indicator (9 for ICD-9 or 0 for ICD-10).
