Hi all… I am trying to add CPT Codes to the drop down menu in the Fee sheet. I see there is 2 different ways of doing it.
1. Through the Admin >List >Fee sheet.
2. Admin >Services
Because I want to add price levels I went with option 2.
So, I added Price levels (Standard and Medicare), I have created a category so I can group the codes and I have added modifiers. Everything looks fine on this page (services). When I go to the fee sheet and select from the drop down any of the CPT codes that I just worked on the modifiers, pricing and descpition does not show.
The desciption shows on the dropdown, but not when selected. what I get is
Type- CPT4
Code- 94250
Mod- blank
Price- blank
Units-1
Justify- dropdown
Provider-dropdown
Auth- checked
Delete- unchecked
Description- blank
I am pretty sure that will answer most of your specific questions and help you to easily migrate what you want from the Services codes to the Issues listing dropdown. I would also suggest you make a formal Tracker request for the direct rollover of the codes to that listing without needing the intermediary of the clickoptions.txt - I have asked, but user requests carry more weight. Let us know how you make out. Thanks.
Hi,
I really new here and really need your step by step guide; I installed the OpenEMR 3.1 on Ubuntu 9.1; I have been testing Open EMR for several days already; i read almost all of the comments in this forum about the ICD code, also read from ideaman911 and his PDF, great work, but can not figure out what would be the easier way to copy and paste with excel, the latest ICD code, for example from the American Academy of FP. I would like to copy most of the short list from AAFP ICD code.
Please someone help me with this because my ICD data is blank right now.
Sincerely.
Sorry I cannot help you more because I loaded all my codes into the Superbill (Admin - Services) manually. But it looks like you are not alone in looking for a more automated method, based on Brady’s feature request in the tracker. Your specific request, though, seems to be for a different listing from that found at the icd9data.com site, so I do not believe the plx loader would work without a lot of mods. Why would you NOT use the icd9data site? What advantage do you feel you get from the AAFP site?
I actually tried to use the icd9data.com and has not been successful doing that neither; then i thought that if i could just simply create a data base from the aafp or from the icd9data and import to openemr; but seemed like i get all the info and idea wrong;
there was some instructions as of to how to have the icd9data process directly by the load_icd9_desc.plx
I read the forum and you also provided help to many users here; really appreciated;
I really new at this openEmr; is there a way that you can teach me : slowly: step by step of how to use the icd9data.com to the load_icd9_desc.plx
i believed that you also created aPDF for beginner and went through it already;
I’d like to help with this since I myself have not done the autoload from the icd9data.com site using the plx file. But any instructions I would develop will be specific for Windows. This is the kind of thing where Windows vs Linux is REAL different for OpenEMR. So before I look too foolish, please confirm what OS you are using, and what download you used to setup your OpenEMR. Thanks.
Getting this figured out would be very useful. Once you figure it out, we could then ensure the next XAMPP-OpenEMR release has the needed perl modules already included.
I’ve re-directed them here, but it does appear that xampp perl will need some additional perl libraries (the top of the icd9 script lists the perl libraries it requires).
You can see comments about my idea for a batch to execute in the Users forum. But it looks like there are similar needs for all the various plx files for HCPCS, CPT, CMS, FDA, etc. as well (although they have not been updated recently).
I presume from your response that I should plan to put the ActivePerl stuff in the …/perl/bin/ location, so they can be used for all. I will try that out. The batch could then be a model for all those plx files, and would be small enough to allow us to make them part of the distribution as well. I am not familiar with perl, though it seems to have similarities with other scripts. Do you know if we could simply use an “include” statement which calls the sqlconf.php to get variables for the dbase? That would seem the smartest way instead of requiring manual substitutions?
