Upgrade with Misc Billing Options HCFA

Now that we have "Misc Billing Options HCFA" which contains the functionality of "Prior Authorization Form", can I just drop the installed but disabled "Prior Authorization Form"?

Does this sound right?
Drop the table from MySQL
Erase the form from the forms folder?

Thanks
Alfonso

I think so, but you might keep them for a while anyway in case you have to look up any old PA numbers.

Yes, I agree with Rod. 
You may have to keep form "prior_auth" installed if you have used the form to enter PA numbers previously.  If the "prior_auth" database is empty, then it is safe to delete it. Just make sure that you also install the new "./openemr/library/freeb" directory from the CVS for the "misc_billing_options" form and "freeb" to work correctly. See this thread:

for more details.
