I downloaded the 2.7.1 from the website. Is this the stable one?
Then I just found that the login screen says 2.7.0 (reflecting the hardcoded values in global.php).

That certainly sounds like an error.
I would go to CVS for the most stable code. It’s currently marked as 2.7.2-rc1 in there.

I believed the released one 2.7.1 is the stable one. Should I stop working on this then? In opinion, CVS shouldn’t be type casted as stable one though, because people checkin stuff without testing the overall functionality. It definitely brings choas to the forum. that is my 2c.

I only meant the comment to apply to this point in time, but in general I agree with you. I’m not bullish on 2.7.1 because of some serious problems that I fixed since it was put out.

could you please give me the module name to access the stable code?
I gave this command… didn’t work in wincvs.
Is this the right command?
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/openemr co -P openemr_2.7.2-rc1

I tried it by chance on my own. It did gave the entire thing…some 23MB.
However, I ported the changes win2000 and xp. It looks better than 2.7.1 Beta.
The errors I was getting in 2.7.1 are no more now. I can’t wait to get a clean image upload/download function.
I need some help in the insurance thingy workflow. Do I need to get a test account from proxymed?
Are there any accounts meant for openemr forum?

While I don’t want to tell you what to do, I will offer this advice: I’m not sure I would recommend Proxymed. While I’m sure they do a great job with the insurance tracking, etc…, they don’t have the ability to send patient bills for you. So, unless you want to either A) stuff bills yourself (OK for a small practice) or B) have a separate company stuff the bills for you (requires you to send them a file every billing cycle), you should check out Zirmed or Realmed. If I remember correctly, they charge in the neighborhood of $.55-.58 per bill.

ProxyMed does offer Patient Statement Processing. Patient Statement Processing includes creating the statement, folding, paper, envelope and mailing charges. Pricing for ProxyMed’s Patient Statement Processing decreases based on increasing volumes of statements. The rates are based on the following four quantity categories: 1-5,000, 5,001-10,000, 10,001-25,000 and more than 25,000. ProxyMed can provide the exact pricing, but I believe pricing can be as low as $0.53 per claim.
ProxyMed also offers several services that are not available with other claims processing companies, such as ZirMed. ProxyMed offers a real-time B2B connection, where a practice management system can be connected to ProxyMed’s system to obtain insurance eligibility verification (270/271), and claim status (276/277). ZirMED is working to offer these services, but these services are not currently available from ZirMED as a real-time service to be included into a practice maangement application.

I’m not trying to be argumentative, but the representative I talked to a few months ago said they did not do statements. I don’t know if she was mistaken or what the deal is…

I got an e-mail back from Proxymed. They indeed DO processing.

processing of patient statements, that is.
