We would like to contribute to the billing page and wanted some direction.
How would you suggest for us to code a function that creates the log file prior to generation of the X12 file. We are billing exclusively via OpenEMR but have to reopen claims for simple errors. It seems that the log file is generated at the same time that the X12 file is generated. We need view the log file then stop x12 process or proceed with it based on findings.
Can you also direct us on how to code a sort of the billing list by Insurance/facility/provider?
The top-level code that drives claim generation and the log file is in interface/billing/billing_process.php. Doing what you want would involve making two passes through the selected encounters. Your programmer would need to study the code and then design a plan for doing this.
The billing list comes from interface/billing/billing_report.php. More programming work to sort that differently.
This is a huge issue for us at MI-SQUARED as well. We would be happy to contribute to improving those processes and reports.
