Why are there no "Billing", "Reports", or "EOBs" links in the
online demo?
Thanks,

hey,
I put a demo up based on the OpenEMR Appliance 2.8.1 which allows you to play around with accounting, sql-ledger, and php-gacl:
https://opensourceemr.com:2083/openemr/
Instructions for use can be found in the ‘Online Demo’ section of the OpenEMR Appliance manual at:
http://www.bradymd.com/appliance/#0.Online%20Demo|outline
At some point I am gonna upgrade the appliance to 2.8.2.

I also forgot to add, the appliance resets itself everyday at midnight(pacific time), so don’t worry about ruining it.

After I enter an encounter, it is not showing up on the Billing page.
The pre-entered encounter for Stanley shows up when I select the date and
uncheck "Show Unbilled Only", but encounters I enter never show up.
Any ideas?
Also, any ETA when the Appliance will be upgraded to 2.8.2?
It looks like there are quite a few imporvements.
Thanks

The administrator is not ‘authorized’, so it seems, then can’t make encounters which show up on billing.
Use the physician login:
username ‘physician’ password ‘physician’
Check out online demo intructions section at http://www.bradymd.com/appliance/#0.Online%20Demo|outline for more usernames and passwords.
I’m gonna ‘authorize’ admin in the demo(ugly that it makes an admin calendar, but then encounters will work for people who only login as admin). Will change over weekend.
2.8.2 goal is to have ready to download by end of May. Should have instructions on manual upgrade in the user manual by end of this weekend. Agree that 2.8.2 has many improvements, especially the concurrent mode, very cool. Will prob put demos of both(traditional look and concurrent look) up if my server can tolerate it.

Ahhh. I tried administrator and accountant, guessing it may just be a permissions problem, and that the accountant would be able to do billing :-/
I just went back to the manual and read about the Authorized flag. Indeed setting it for admin in the demo enables EOB. Maybe the next version should have more flags or something?
I have 2.8.2 finally configured on my system, but there are a few things that don’t seem to be right. I was hoping the demo would help diagnose the problems, but I get the same results and havent been able to find the answers in the fourms.
So, more questions…
On a patients notes page, the Balance Due is always 0, even after going through all the billing and EOB. What else have I missed?
The on-line manual has a fee sheet in the encounter forms, has that gone away? Is the Coding - superbill the thing to use now? Has anyone suggested having a list of whats already selected on that page?
These may be features for the next version or being a computer guy and don’t understand how a dr office works yet, but…
- From the EOB, after searching on a name or chart, I get a list of invoices and balance info, and I can print the selected statements.
a) Is there a way to see that on the screen before printing?
b) Is there a way to get a similar report that includes unbilled encounters?
- From the Billing screen, can I filter by patient and sort by encounter date? Like if I’m rebilling for one patient.
Thanks for your help. My next step will be to get it into production, load the cvs version on my dev system, and learn php and sql so I can attempt to help out. Unfortunitaly, there are still some rough edges, but you all have done a great job making things work and answering everyones questions in the forum.
Thanks All!

hey,
2.8.2 Appliance is now ready. Check out the updated website at http://www.bradymd.com/appliance/ . I overhauled the website because I was getting confused by my own documentation. Right now, have the documentation for 2.8.2 along with a download via torrent. Will place on sourceforge, make demos, and add to the wiki when i get some more time.
