No, it’s the justify column in the billing table I’m referring to not the codes themselves.
Old justify method:

Current justify method:

Just check the billing table in our production copy from 2 years ago (probably running 4.1.0 at the time). Each line that had a CPT code in the Code column had a corresponding ICD-9 code (xxx.xx) in the Justify column. Data from yesterday had ICD9|xxx.xx in the Justify column.
Same result after just entering and justifying a charge for Phil Belford in the 4.1.1 Demo. Line 7 which led with a CPT code has the Justify column populated, while line 8 which led with an ICD-9 code has the Justify column empty. See attachments.
Both images in the above post are broken, therefore it is impossible to comment on them. In both attachments above, lines with fees are associated with populated Justify columns. It is unclear what is the difference between old and Current except the designation, ICD|.
If the screenshots had been expanded, the lines with Justify values probably would have led with CPT codes. It would make no sense to have the Justify column populated for a line that leads with an ICD code or with a copy, because there is no reason to justify an ICD code or a copay.
The 4.1.0 Demo is no longer available.

Attempted to replicate problem in the weekly Demo, 2103, but failed.
Removing the code type for an ICD-9 code caused it to be unavailable in the Fee Sheet, so that is not it.
Even with the removal of the text, ICD9, from the Code Type column of the billing table and using an encounter date from 2011; all elements populated correctly in the CMS 1500 02-12. See attachments.
The 4.1.0 Demo’s have been shut down. There isn’t a way to test there.
Thus far, it does not appear that we have a bug on our hands. Users, reporting this problem, have an idiosyncrasy that has yet to be identified.
The package for Windows uses XAMPP 1.8.2 for OpenEMR 4.1.2, while the older package used XAMPP 1.7.3. I wonder if version differences is contributing to the problem.

I pulled your fix into the Master Branch.

Hi Kevin,
Should this go in the next 4.1.2 patch?

Thank you for the fix above. Now, all of the diagnosis prints out properly. Now, how do I move the diagnosis to have it fit in its little boxes.

Hello fsgl,
We are making a modicum of progress with exam form fabrication! To avert frowns, we are looking forward a bit to the sequel processes: coding is of interest today. We are seeking to load a hand full icd 9 favorites on the laptop to see what must be ironed out for switching to open EMR. We would value any admonition/encouragement.
Kindest Regards,
Scott
(P.S. watched a couple of you tube POSSCON 2011 clips and were heartened )

Hi Scott,
If you’re not having difficulties with printing the CMS 1500, you may want to start a new thread in Help.
If you know how to import into the database, I can attach both the ICD-9 & the CPT codes, as .sql files, that I use in the office. It’s easier than to enter them manually.
If you don’t, I’ll provide a how-to. You can experiment on one of the Demo’s before touching the production copy.
My experience with this Project has been superlative. I trust that you will agree with me.

Hello Dr. Lee,
Thanks for the response. When there’s time to work on the program, I am away from
the net. I guess I’m a bit too tentative in my approach. I’ve noted your admonition
to sundry to run a back up. Thought this would be a good place to explore under the hood on the down load I have on my lap top. Having printed the instructions from viSolve, I find my self out of my depth for this seemingly basic task.Thought this an appropriate precursor to down loading codes. Confession: my local IT guy downloaded you LBV forms that I’ve been exploring. I may be an appreciative passenger, but aspire to be a driver. If I hit CREATE BACKUP there follows a connecting message that I associate with the internet. Is this a local function that can be performed off-line?
Confusedly Yours,
Scott

I think your laptop is Windows 7 & you are still experimenting.
It’s wise to be cautious, even when you have advanced to using OpenEMR in the office. Even seasoned users rue the day that they did not back up before customizing/experimenting on their production copy (the one they use in the office).
This article explains why it’s better not to use the built-in backup method for Windows. It’s a great confidence booster to get it under your belt. Forum members would attest to the fact that using Command Prompt made me queasy when it was first suggested.
I have the .sql file with Ophthalmic CPT & ICD codes ready for import.
Please start a new thread after a successful backup with the above link. Then we can work on importing the .sql file. We’ll take you through it in a stepwise fashion.
If you need help with the Windows backup, another thread should be started as well.

Hi fsgl,
I would welcome referenced how-to for importing into the data base.
On another topic, I used the back up that is resident in openEMR.
Is there a better way? As you say my laptop dors run on windows 7.
Thank you for the guidance.
Scott
