I am having a hard time getting this new system to put the billing note on the patient statement. Previously you could call up genericval2 to put in the note. Now it seems to be trying to call up bill_note, but it doesn’t give any results no matter what you select in globals. Phpmyadmin doesn’t seem to work either in 4.2.2 so it is hard to know what the field is called now in the database. Previously genericval2 allowed us to put an explanatory note on each patients statement as we posted payments. sl eob search was changed but it really looks like it should call up bill_note, but it just seems like that field doesn’t actually contain the billing note that previously was under genericval2.
If you want to send me your statement program I will make the changes to it or you can put the following in where you had the genericval2 in your statement program. You will also need to turn on the globals to print it.
Thanks for responding
I kind of gave up using my previously modified statement.inc and sl eobsearch files and was working on using the files that come with 4.2.2 to match the fields on statement blanks we have been using. The above code seems to be in the new statement.inc file but I can’t find that it actually enters anything on a printable statement. I’m sure I’m just missing something simple, but once I figure out a way to send out a professional looking statement I will try to send details. The link shows the statement blanks I have been using up to this point which have matching envelopes. http://www.quill.com/medisoft-altapoint-compatible-laser-statements/cbs/134657.html?keywords=30446&promoCode==200200555&ajx=1
I have actually used openemr about 5 years, but I used Medisoft before that. Its really more of a hobby for me to figure out and contribute back ways to make openemr more usable. Most times just as I seem to develope a new idea, one of you pro developers come up with a better idea, but thats part of what makes it interesting.
I just took about a dozen sites from Altapoint to OpenEMR that is why I asked. about 7 years a go I took the same group from medisoft to altapoint.
I would like to see the finished product on the statements. (I don’t need 500 of them to develop with) My users did not use preprinted forms just the plain paper statements.
Let me know if you need any help , I would be glad to help.
I knew it was just some small point I was missing. In sl eob search php I just had to add the p.billing_note statement as noted below, and lo and behold the billing note that previously was genericval2 comes up on the patient statement. Now its just a matter of moving stuff around in statement.inc to place them in the desired spots on statement blanks.
