Well done, Jeff! If anybody needs it, I have updated to 0.8.4 a module by Robert Meyer which allows you to add multiple CPT codes in the same procedure. I'm also working on a "SOAP notes" module. It's a different UI on progress notes, which will allow you to see all the past progress notes, and since they're mostly the same from visit to visit, will pre-populate the 'Add' page with the previous visit's notes.
