FYI:
Missing country field
Adding an insurance company via Patient / (New/Search) / checked Insurance / (Search/Add Insurer)
Here you have the possibility to change/add the country code default is USA
Adding an insurance Company via Administration / Practice / Insurance Companies / add ins co
NO possibility to add/change the country. Field is missing and the STATE field is following the US rule accept only 2 characters…
Please change

To add country see attached.
Likewise state can be changed from Lists.

Hi fsgl,
I have tried your method but it did not work properly. It was defaulted to the first record in the country list (in this case USA)
I deleted the USA record and added Suriname. Also deleted the “State” list values and added the SU values.
I believe that in the "Practice"screen the country field must be available for input, simalar as in the “Patient” screen

Did you check the ‘Default’ box in @fsgl’s picture? If that flag is not working then it would be a bug.
In general it is not a good idea to let everyone create new entries. Most of the practices will not need more than a handful entries in their lifetime. But the beauty of open source is if your situation needs a feature, change the code and provide patch to the project.
Best.

The state & country entries in Demographics are for the patient, while the same entries in Insurance are for the insured (the person carrying the policy). A great deal of the Patient Summary is built upon the Layout Based Visit Form. Lists save a lot of typing. Unless the Data Type is changed from List Box to something else, the drop downs must be used.
If you start experimenting with the layouts, would suggest you do so on one of the Demo’s. It does not take much to get into a heap of trouble.
If the Default box is left unchecked in all Lists, the actual default is “Unassigned”. If the patient’s country had been entered as USA in Demographics & Self had been selected as Relationship (to the insured), country in Insurance will default to USA in Insurance as a result of the prior entry.
If you wish to add an insurer in Administration/Practice/Insurance Companies; the address is free text, not drop down menus. Note that after adding an insurer, only the name will appear in the Insurance part of the Patient Summary, not the carrier address.
There is no place to enter country. Health insurance is generally used domestically, hence no country box. It can be customized if your patients carry international insurance.
Just added São Paulo, SP, Brazil in the 4.2.0 Demo without difficulty or deletions.

Hello Arthur,
The default country for…
Patient/Client > New/Search > Insurance > Search/Add Insurer
is controlled in…
interface/practice/ins_search.php
on line 295…
<input type='text' size='20' name='form_country' value='USA' maxlength='35'
‘USA’ is hard wired in (and cannot be changed from the interface (need to type in an alternative each time)). So need to edit the above file directly (change ‘USA’ to ‘ICELAND’ for e.g.).
This change will not alter the country assigned in…
Admin > Practice > Insurance Companies > Add a Company
It will still be ‘USA’! (Although there is no possibility of entering a country, one is still assigned)
Regards,
epsdky.
