Duplicate Conditional Formatting with non-exact search inquiry

Hello,

I'm not especially experienced with Excel, and haven't been able to find someone with my situation online to help troubleshoot my problem.

It's a complicated situation in a somewhat specialized field, so I'll try to explain as best as possible.

I work in medical billing, and there is a specific insurance payer who has strict rules about what ICD 10 diagnosis codes are allowed to be billed together (i.e. the code for chronic pain basically excludes any other pain codes, etc. meaning if a chronic pain code and a leg pain code are billed together, the insurance will deny.) We have a running list of codes that can't be billed together, but I wanted to make an easier "lookup" style excel sheet where we could essentially 1. input all the codes on the claim and have the sheet highlight codes that have exclusions and 2. search codes one at a time to isolate codes that exist on the claim that need removal because they can't be billed with the searched code.

The first part I've managed just fine with conditional formatting and a COUNTIF formula, so any codes on the claim that are "headers" in the table of codes and exclusions highlight red.

The second part is where I've run into trouble. ICD 10 codes exist in a range of fewer digits/less specific to more digits/more specific (For example, M17 (osteoarthritis of knee) at its least specific, to M17.32 (unilateral post-traumatic osteoarthritis, left knee). Some codes have up to 7 digits, and dozens if not hundreds of variations/sub codes). But, in the case of codes that are mutually exclusive, if a code excludes M17, then any codes more specific (M17.0, M17.32, etc.) are also excluded. The claims usually have more specific codes, but the table of exclusions usually has the least specific code that is still an exclusion. Since conditional formatting doesn't like wildcards, I've found that the hidden helper table will highlight duplicates using the wildcard, but the more specific codes in the column I'm actually trying to format will not highlight. Is there a way to finagle this to make it work? (Preferably without listing out every single code under the least specific code).

Here's the sheet, I'm hoping I've formatted this as well as explained it correctly. Thanks in advance

I hope my understanding is clear

DX Codes are in column A
vlookup of Source

Three checks are being done
1. Presence in header row
2. Whether the individual entries in column A are present in exclusion list of the entries in column A (wild card match also included)
3. Not exactly a check- against a particular entry in column A, how many of the other entries are in the exclusion list
Col D highlights those exclusions against entries in Col A

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I think this is more or less what I've managed to do , but I'm having trouble integrating this into my excel program because of an error with the source in a few of the formulas. usually I either get an error message for a circular formula argument, or Excel crashes completely. Like I said I'm not familiar with Excel or XL2BB, so if there's something I'm meant to be doing to paste the mockup you've made into my native excel sheet please let me know.

If I'm understanding correctly, Column D will be what indicates which codes to remove (i.e. remove M25.562 in order to get C7=0, and remove M54.12, M54.16, and M54.59 to get C10=0). Is there a way to do this with conditional formatting to highlight the codes that need to be deleted? Or does the presence of the wildcards make this impossible?

Thanks.

Hi

The first two checks flag cases where an exclusion can get highlighted
Please do a conditional formatting on col A depending on these two columns (col B and C)

Cases like cell A9- m25.532 escape the first check but get highlighted in the second check

Yes, Column D indicates which is the entry in the column G to column AE section is getting highlighted as an exclusion against the entry in column A

For example, A7 is M25.561---and an exclusion is getting highlighted in C7
D7 tells which particular entry in from col G to col AE is causing that highlight in C7 to happen, which is an entry M25.5*

Col E tells how many exclusions from are there in the DX list (col A)
For example, E3=2, implying that two of the exclusions given in col G to AE are there amongst the other entries in col A
These are M25.5* and M54.* as can be seen in col D

Please do share your feedback whether this helps
