Onset Date missning from the preprinted HICFA form

We are missing this piece of information that was present in the 5.0.0.3.

hi @juggernautsei, there can’t be any s in the billing code

you could change this line back to just plain old OnsetDate if you want to keep using the encounter form instead of the misc billing options

github.com

openemr/openemr/blob/master/library/gen_hcfa_1500.inc.php#L377


  }


// Box 12. Patient's or Authorized Person's Signature
  put_hcfa(29, 7, 17, 'Signature on File');
// Note: Date does not apply unless the person physically signs the form.


// Box 13. Insured's or Authorized Person's Signature
  put_hcfa(29, 55, 17, 'Signature on File');


// Box 14. Date of Current Illness/Injury/Pregnancy
  $tmp = $claim->miscOnsetDate();
  put_hcfa(32, 2, 2, substr($tmp, 4, 2));
  put_hcfa(32, 5, 2, substr($tmp, 6, 2));
  put_hcfa(32, 8, 4, substr($tmp, 0, 4));


  if (hcfa_1500_version_02_12() && !empty($tmp)) {
      // Only include the Box 14 qualifier if using version 02/12 and there is a Box 14 date.
      put_hcfa(32, 16, 3, $claim->box14Qualifier());
  }


// Box 15. First Date of Same or Similar Illness, if applicable

Did this instead

if($claim->miscOnsetDate()){
    $tmp = $claim->miscOnsetDate();
    put_hcfa(32, 2, 2, substr($tmp, 4, 2));
    put_hcfa(32, 5, 2, substr($tmp, 6, 2));
    put_hcfa(32, 8, 4, substr($tmp, 0, 4));
    }elseif($claim->onsetDate()){
    $tmp = $claim->onsetDate();
    put_hcfa(32, 2, 2, substr($tmp,4,2));
    put_hcfa(32, 5, 2, substr($tmp,6,2));
    put_hcfa(32, 8, 4, substr($tmp,0,4));
    }

Don’t know why not put this in the code because both areas are used and most people that I work with never use the misc billing form.
