Charges Panel - missing the code type and code entries in receipt

Do not understand why code type and code does not appear in genereted receipt. For example, take a look on demo.open-emr. There is Patient with name Phil Belford (1) who has two(2) encounters - old one at 2014-02-01 and new one, from me added, at 2014-10-22. When the older encounter(2014-02-01) is selected and charges panel is opened, after click on receipt link in right part of triptych labeled Billing, you will get properly created receipt as described in wiki. But, if you select the recent one (2014-10-22) and repeat the procedure, you will get receipt without code type and code entries? What is reason for this manner of functioning?

Charges Panel will only provide details for CPT codes in the receipt.

Is this function wanted or is it bug? I use openEMR in Europe and I need receipt that shows me items specific for my practise. I don’t use CPT4 at all. What could be solution for this issue? Thank you for quickly replay.

It is not a bug.

The Charges Panel is best suited to a practice that has only self-pay patients. In that case, one can fabricate a set of pseudo-CPT codes, (00001, Registration as illustrated in the Wiki article) and use that set in the Charges Panel.

If a practice submits claims to insurance companies, it is better to use the Fee Sheet. In that regard, the Fee Sheet has superseded the Charges Panel.

From the left navigational bar, under Fees; there are 2 additional options for printing receipts, i.e., Payment and Checkout.

Usually fsgl is very good informed and I don’t want to discuss the advise given.

What can be done is following:

In Administartion => Other => Language change CPT, CPT II, and “CPT4 procedure/Services” into the code name you use in Europe: “Europe good-value price” (or whatever you like in your language of preference). Don’t rename into something wiht a too long value so it fits in the label.

Next step start populating the CPT4 code list in: Administration => Codes (or import a CSV file through phpMyAdmin filled with the codes of your liking)

Another option might be:

Go to Administration => Lists => Codes types and disable CPT4 and add the code name for the European values give the new code-type the same permissions as CPT4 has.

You might have to do some extra tweaking since the CPT4 values are use for default price setting during OpenEMR start-screens for encounters.

In the Demo version with PHIL I added the European scheme pricing as seprate table.

Made also an entry for fee sheet.

Quick before it resets itself tomorrow. I laft the CPT4 in place and did not disable for comparrison.

In Administration => Lists => FeeSheet you can make the connection to the correct Diagnosis or ICD9 value (or ICPC value in Europe for Diagnosis in General practice)

And you have to make a justification with ICD9 to show Diagnosis.
