ADDING EXTRA DIAGNOSIS ENTRIES TO THE PATIENT RECEIPT FORMAT

The standard Patient Receipt will be pre-set to always print 3 diagnosis entries. If your receipt is not utilizing 3 Diagnosis entries, you may restore the default or do the following:

The easiest way to edit the Patient Receipt is from the Service/Payment entry form. Click on the [S] and pull up a patient. If you have one that already has services, this would be best, other wise, you could add a service to a patient then delete it after we are done.

Once you have a patient with a service in the Service/Payment entry form, then click on the small printer icon at the top of the form. This will pull up the Print Receipt area. There is a word “Layout” to the left of the fill in window for Patient Receipt form type. Right click on the word Layout. This will bring up a report designer window with many “boxes” on the screen. You will see the boxes that represent the diagnosis entries. They read as follows:

THISFORM.PAGEFRAME1.PAGE1.DIAGNOSIS1.VALUE

Currently, there will be 2 of these boxes, one below the other. Click once on the lower of the 2 boxes. This will highlight, or mark, this box. Now hold down the CTRL key and press the letter “C” to copy this box. You will not see any change on the screen. Next hold down the CTRL key and press the letter “V” to paste this box. It will paste slightly overlapping the original box. Use the down and left arrows on the keyboard to move this box into alignment directly below the other 2 boxes.

Once this box is in place, double click to bring up the Report Expression box. Next, click on the button to the right of the expression entry ([…]) to expand this expression so that you can see the entire thing. Now change the word DIAGNOSIS1 to read DIAGNOSIS3. When you are done it should look like this:

THISFORM.PAGEFRAME1.PAGE1.DIAGNOSIS3.VALUE

Now OK your way back to the screen with the boxes. Hold down the CTRL key and press the letter “W” to save this form.
