Somewhere else I had found a useful little feature to add a note, in red, to the billing widget.
Enter ‘Billing’ in the third user defined when editing the demographics Who tab in Layouts, and enter a text in the 4th and you get a red not with that text in the billing widget.
Is there a way to customize that or is this a quick and dirty hack that made it into the official distribution?
Thanks, Merlin

Another way to have a Billing Note is via EOB & clicking on patient’s name instead of the invoice number.
There should be a path to the .php file just above the dialog for customization.

Hi Merlin,
This was a quick hack that found itself in the main codebase. Note there is interim code out there by Art to convert this hack into a better feature:

Thank you so much!
Wondering, as this is a quick hack, will it disappear in the future - if so, then I will discourage the staff to use it.

Hi Merlin,
It won’t disappear, but if Art’s code gets into the codebase at some point, then it will be “migrated” to a more clear feature(the billing notes will be copied to a new field).
