On EMR 4.1.1(8) the Appointment-Encounter report is not displaying any copay’s that were entered via the Payment screen. Checked the database table billing for code_type of COPAY and there are not entries since upgrade to 4.1.1. Also recreated scenario on EMR demo site with encounters and copay’s. After building scenario data on demo site checked database and there are no co-payment entries into the billing table. Have the co-payments been moved to another table?
Hi,
This is a bug then.
Looks like that script got missed (lots of work went into migrating the copays to ar_session and ar_activity). If a developer wants to take this on, it should be a rather easy fix if look at the code where the copays are correctly grabbed.

Previously Copay is fetched from billing table,So copay values are fetched from billing table.i looked at the code high level,still the queries are mentioning copay from billing table.What would be the fix here?I would like to help on this.please guide me,
Does this mean co-pays collected using “Payments” were not included on our X12 claims?
and
If we use “Checkout” to take co-pays, will that work properly?
The entire codebase was refactored to support the migration of copayments away from the billing table, which was contributed by ZH. A couple things were missed in the initial contribution, which I then addressed in a follow-up commit: http://github.com/openemr/openemr/commit/6561e30b45a0b1dcece2ed875c346bddcb5b99e5
(note this incorporated X12 (claims class) and the checkout scripts, so to answer your question is that these should be working properly in 4.1.1)
The bug discussed in above posts is likely just an isolated bug that was missed when refactoring the codebase.
