Where do I add optometry items to service fee

Trying to see if openemr can be used in optometry.  Have entered CPt4 codes and icd9 that the Doctor uses.  My question is on his current superbill he list items like Frames, Contact Lens info, Lens Service (single lens, Trifocal), add on charges (tinting, scratchcoat). 

Is it possible to enter these times.  Should I just make up my own codes for them or what is the best way to attack this?
Thanks again for the help and support.

You can enable support for drug/product inventory and sales in globals.php (or in Administration -> Globals if using crurrent development code).

I did try and enable the globals.  The product drop down adds to the fee sheet.  However I cant figure out where I can enter the products so that it shows in the drop down.

I am using v 3.2.0    Ok I changed the code…
// Make this nonzero if you want the ability to sell products other than
// prescription drugs.  Also requires inhouse_pharmacy to be true.
// This allows selection of products from the Fee Sheet.
// Set this to 2 if you want a simplified interface (no templates, no
// prescription drugs), otherwise to 1.
$GLOBALS = 1;

Do not see a change once I logged back in.  Do I need to restart the service?  I will try that…
Thank for the tip……

Does not seem to work in V3.2.0  or I am going blind  :^))  
Where do I look after I make the change to global.php….I am sorry for being a pain.

No you don’t need to restart the web server.  Look for Inventory -> Management in the menu.  If you don’t see it then you probably need permission (admin/drugs or “pharmacy dispensary”) added in the ACL section.

I have no Inventory -> Management item in the menu.

I am logging in as admin using the standard install on windows xp.  V3.2.0

I checked the ACL section and under admin there was nothing about admin/drugs listed.   Have tried this on two machines, with the same result.  I am not using the radio buttons.  I have notice menu items are called different things with tree or radio.  I know I must be missing something.  Thank you for being patience.

You need both of these settings in interface/globals.php:

$GLOBALS{‘inhouse_pharmacy’} = true;
$GLOBALS{‘sell_non_drug_products’} = 1;

Rod,

Yes….just made the change and  the menu item came up….
something about the wording does not seem intuitive to have to pick both….

Anyway to changes items in the add a new drug box….so they read more like optometry items….

Thanks again….

I would love to understand if you solved this problem…I too would like to add non-encounter based line items to a patient’s bill.

Can you tell me how you solved your question?
