And here is the HCPCS coding tablets with other info.

To be found at the CMS.Gov website. (Not the CMS-Rod Roark addition :wink:

There is a column with Fee, but I don’t have a clue of who my use this fee or when and why.

Pimm,

The Revenue Codes define the code categories for types of service. The equivalent would be medical or surgical or diagnostic services rendered by physicians. Because hospitals render more varied services, the insurers require more info.

Fees are the actual charges and will vary from one institution to the next. That is why it is left blank.

My suggestion to Terry about the clearinghouse is to get info, not to sign up with them. It’s a mini-ruse. Terry probably does not have colleagues who can help with the Revenue Codes, otherwise he would not start this thread.

Digression:
Did you get a chance to run the backup utility in 4.1.3 yet?

In one of the other Forums, I think it was Backup- etc. it was mentioned that the Back-up and Restore- function of Mint17 did the correct thing with it’s backup and restore. So it is now even less high on my priority list.

I might do the Backup delete and restore as soon as Rod’s CMS-Service is included in the latest OpenEMR Development release and I need to Unpgrade to CMS inclusion.

But IMHO this will be something without the Ninja part and that is quite a study to get this together with Wordpress and the Wordpress additions and the Ninja Forms. Five Pages WIKI information only… (Without the fsgl corrections to be expected of the relevant WIKI)

It not only requires "a"spreadsheet, it requires "THE"spreadsheet. “THE” Spreadsheet should be exactly the same as the one used in OpenEMR for that specific table.

I.e. Field names, ID columns, Field length, numeric, text, etc.

CSV fields need to have exscape characters for things used in the CSV file to decide if it is a new field… ; , “” . as some examples.

Running any query will give anything.

What should be done insert some relevant Fee information and Export the table file in CSV or SQL format.

Most Demo versions in Open-EMR demo sites can Export and Import sql through phpMyAdmin for any table.

With that information import the complete correct file in the different tables.
