I have been using OpenEMR now for 4 years. The first two years I made multiple mistakes in how I used the billing modual to enter my paid claims. Now, as a result of my trial and error learning I have a bunch of old billing that looks odd and incomplete. When I am working on a patient’s billing now the old mistakes fill the page at the top and at the bottom is my clean correct billing. I would like to deleate or archive the first two years of billing from the application. I do not want to spend the time to go back and fix it all, and it would not pay me anything after all this time. I just figure the likely income losses were the cost of my learning. Is there a way to archive old billing and just keep the last two years?
hi Craig, you could run some custom mysql statments to clean it up and also create special balance forward records so you wouldn’t lose any potential income. You’d want to look at the ar_activity, billing and payment tables in the database.
Thank you. Easy enough to make a statment to move the records in the three tables you mention into an archive to save. But, the balance forward part is a question mark for me.
