CORRECTING THE DIAGNOSIS ENTRIES FOR THE GENERAL BILLING FORM

To correct the diagnosis entry on the General Billing form, it is actually easier to “borrow” this field from another form and replace it.

Go to the [B] Billing Entry. Find a patient that is using the General Billing Form and click once on their name to select them. Now, change the form type from General Billing Form to the Patient Super Bill then click on [EDIT]. This will pull up a screen that looks something like this:

In the area marked Diagnosis, click ONCE on the first “box”

UPPER(CHRTRAN(LEFT(DIAGNOSIS(1),40),"./,"," "))

To highlight, now hold down the SHIFT key and click on the other 3 Diagnosis boxes. Now that they are all selected (show small dots “.” around the boxes) hold down the CTRL key and press the letter “C”. You won’t see any change on the screen, but this will place these ‘boxes” into the clipboard. Now close this box and change the form for this patient BACK to the General Billing Form. Again click on the [EDIT]. You will see a screen something like this:

Select each of the diagnosis boxes by holding down the SHIFT key and clicking on each of them. Now hit the DELETE key to remove these boxes. Next, hold down the CTRL key and press the letter “V” to paste the “other” diagnosis entries onto the form. These will appear in the upper right hand side. They will still be marked. Use either your mouse or the arrows on the keyboard, to move these down to the area in which you wish them to appear.

There are 2 more steps to do. Once these boxes are in place, hold down the SHIFT key and use the right arrow key to make the boxes bigger. When you have them about the size that appears above, then, at the top of the screen, click on FORMAT then on FONT and change the size to 12. OK back to the screen with the boxes.

Hold down the CTRL key and press the letter “W” to save this format.
