In …/Library/gen_hcfa_1500.inc.php near line 544 is section 31 which shows the field filling.  You can edit that as needed, but you might have to add the explicit field data you wish printed in one of the SQL statements above, which will reference the specific database and its field_name you must retrieve as part of that data query.  That kind of data change process could be done for anything you need changed in a printout.

For example, our local NGS insists they want the date printed in the box 31.  To do that I adjusted the next two fields per:

// 31. Form Date:                                           Added Date Printed 7/5/09 for Medicare returns PIA JCH
    $formdate = "          ";      
    if ($ct === ‘MB’) { 
          $formdate = date(‘Y-m-d’);
    }   

  // 32a. Service Facility NPI
  put_hcfa(61, 12, 22, $formdate . ’  ’ . $claim->facilityNPI());  // inserted $formdate & space 7/5/09  JCH

Hope that helps.

I don’t see anywhere a place to put the rendering provider license number in openemr, is there a way to add it ?

I am unsure why you would need the license number, as the current ID requirement is the NPI, which is automatically posted.  But it is possible to use one of the unused fields available to place your desired info, and then revise the output file(s) as per my suggested to achieve your desired placement.  There is no specific filed defined in OpenEMR to do so, however.  Most I advise put their license numbers in the "Additional Info" box in Administration - Users - Individual user dataset.
