Hello All.
http://starfrontiers.org/khvcode/openemr/openemr.zip
This mod is based on the following 4.0.1 branch with calendar and facility mods, and may not work with other versions.
http://github.com/zhhealthcare/openemr/tree/calendar_and_billing_location_modifications_v1
Please review item #3 in this list, as it has some odd behavior and you might not want to include that modified file when
installing, so please read the following carefully:
This modification does the following:
1. Adds configuration settings to the x12 partner screen to allow you to configure ISA01-ISA04. This is of particular use with ValueOptions (plans such a Florida Health Partners, Il. Health Partners, and others).
2. Adds support for tracking and paying contract providers who are NOT the actual billing/rendering provider. This is of
particular use for Mental Health Counselors and the like who are supervised. Using this modification, the contractor fills out a fee sheet, and lists the billing provider in the rendering spots, and uses the “contractor” entry to indicate who actually provided the service. The modification REPLACES the standard cash provider report (sl_receipts_report.php) which only reported on billing providers. If anyone wants the original report as well as the new one, I can make a modification to include it. The new report will report fees that have no contractor as unassigned (no name), so it may be a while after implementation before you have the system cleared of old billing and showing clean reports (unless you re-open old fee sheets and add a contractor name. It also only reports on what has been PAID, much like the original.
I am expanding this function to include an interface for setting percentages and pay-per-unit for individual contractors.
It will likely be some weeks before this is done. I hope to be able to include a report for individual contractors so they
can track their earnings and billing totals on the basis of what has been submitted, paid, or is currently awaiting
billing/authorization.
3. The final addition to this package is a tiny modification of openemr/interface/main/main_screen.php. This turns the horizontal split screen into a vertical split screen. This is a potentially useful bit of code that forum user “whimmel” posted. It has some odd behavior if you turn off the bottom view (right hand view does not go away) and if you turn the bottom view back on, it creates what looks like a 4 frame view. The bottom frames are blank and do not go away unless you right click and refresh/resend, so you might want to delete this file before installing this mod, or back up your original file (and entire installation) before trying.
INSTALLATION:
1. Decide if you wish to try the vertical split screen or not, and if not, delete the file openemr/interface/main/main_screen.php from the mod package.
2. Back up your installation.
3. Find the file openemr/sql/contractor_sqlquery.sql. You may install this file in several ways. I recommend you copy the contents of the file, log onto the EMR, and open Administration/Other/Database to get to the MyPHPAdmin interface. Click the SQL Query button under the MyPHPAdmin logo, and paste the contents into the window, and hit “Go”. You may also paste the contents into the end of the file openemr/sql/4_0_0_to_4_0_1_sqlupgrade.sql and run localhost/openemr/sql_upgrade.php.
4. Unzip the mod pack, and paste onto your openemr directory.
