I thought I posted this the other day, but it disappeared, so pardon if it is a repeat.
This may be a basic question, but I am new to PCS coding.
Is there a placeholder option to abbreviate a list of codes that have almost all he same characters? For example, rather than write out the entire list of codes below, I would like to list it once, and indicate via a placeholder that the 4th and 7th characters need to be indicated. Is there a standard practice, such as an underscore, as in 0HR_XJ_ ? Thanks for any help!
