PrognoCIS has a list of close to 15,000 CPT/HCPCS codes. Depending on the specialty of the Provider, they are likely to use a very limited set of codes. Thus, a Provider can create a list of their preferred codes by selecting the required ones from the complete list. This way, while the Provider always has the option to select a code from the comprehensive list, they can choose instead to select a code from their limited list.

This Provider-specific list can be created by going to Settings → My Preferences → the CPT/HCPCS option once the Provider has logged in. In clinics where all Providers are of the same specialty, it is possible to create a Clinic-specific list of CPT/HCPCS codes by going to Settings → Configuration → Clinic column → Pref CPT/HCPCS. This list is shared by all Providers, so common codes need to be selected only once.

While assigning ICD codes on the Assessment screen of an encounter, the list of Provider Preferred + Clinic Preferred CPT/HCPCS, along with the SNOMED and ICD-10 codes, is shown together.
