I have a situation where for certain categories they bill on a monthly basis and four or five encounters are grouped and presented in one CMS 15oo. THE CMS 1500 allows it but can someone help me how this can be done with openemr?

Thanks

No, that’s not currently supported.

Thanks Rod. Is there anyway we can do this? I can work on it and dedicate it to the group.

Appreciate your response

I expect there is a way, but it would take some analysis, especially as claims are currently related 1-to-1 with encounters.  If you want my help, email me.

I’ve also heard the same request from a client, i.e. support for multiple encounters in one CM 1500 form.  Note that CMS 1500 can only support up to 6 CPT codes, so providing support for this requires taking this limit into consideration.
