HFCA rounding $ amounts

V2.8.2 is rounding the CPT4 fees dollar amounts when generating HFCAs.  Is it supposed to do that?

The concern is the issue with multiple fee schedules - If a 1 hour massage is $45, a 1/2 hour should be $22.50.
We have had insurance companies kick things back, though at the time, I think it was off more than $1 for other reasons.
They will use any excuse to kick things back.

Thanks

It should have been fixed in v2.8.3. If I am not mistaken.

Sorry, it has not been fixed.

Find the file /usr/share/freeb/formatbin/hcfa.pl and locate the line that contains the following:

# put command: 24.F. Charges
$data=sprintf("%3.2f",FreeB::FBProcedure::CPTCharges($HCFA_CPT[$cbt_i])/100);

and change to

# put command: 24.F. Charges
$data=sprintf("%3.2f",FreeB::FBProcedure::CPTCharges($HCFA_CPT[$cbt_i]));

That should fix it.
