Hi,

There seems to be a problem in payment processing in relation to the collection_report.
Lets say we post a partial insurance payment for an encounter, which covers only one of the CPT codes of the fee sheet. Then, if we run collection report, this encounter would only show up in the "Due Pt" category, but not in the "Due Ins" as I would expect. This is re-creatable in the current 4.1.2 demo, see the patient named Payment Problem with 2014-08-12 as a service date until it's refreshed.

It looks that form_encounter.last_level_closed is not handled properly in the library.payment.inc.php and interface/billing/new_payment.php.

I see the traces of this problem in the data from a few years back. It causes billers to miss a lot of claims for insurance follow up...

thanks
mark

    No reaction? It's a serious bug for practices which use billing function of OpenEMR...

    I'd fix the collection_report.php, but the culprit seems to be in the payment code, which is a little too heavy for me. May be the authors, Eldho Chacko eldho@zhservices.com or Paul Simon K paul@zhservices.com, would be willing to take a look

    Hi,
    I recommend bringing this up in the forums. The audience that follows the trackers is much less than the audience that follows the forums.
