Mike, If you can program in old Basic (I think that is what you are
saying), you can learn to program in Mumps. The hard part of Mumps is not
really the language, but learning to read some of the older styles of
programming in Mumps. But if you do not learn Mumps you surely will not be
able to read the VistA Mumps code.

I agree, and I'd like to help, but my programming experience is limited to
35 year old recollection of BASIC.

The real solution for this is going to have a formal billing package.
There was a conference call with Fred Trotter who wanted to integrate
his free billing system with VistA. But there was no one that started
the actual programming.

Nancy,
I'd be interested in seeing the specs on VistA's billing output. I'm not
enough of a progammer to do much more than create a post processor to
convert text based output to the ANSI 837 format (probably in BASIC,
unless I can figure out M) but that would probably be enough for my low
budget office to avoid the costs of clearinghouses and middlemen.
I'm back to billing everything on CMS-1500 paper and I'm trying to get
VistA to generate it. I'm bogged down trying to place CPT and ICD codes
on the CPRS encounter form which seems to be where the billing module
captures the data. My encounter form comes up blank, despite having
imported all of the CPT and ICD codes. Any Idea how to add codes to the
form?

I believe VistA can still generate a 1500 type bill, although I have
never
tried any of that. The output in the document I have is for sending to
Austin to then forward to WebMD, but it has all of the content that all
of
the insurance companies might want beyond the usual stuff in a HIPAA
compliant transmission.

I assume it is still included in the IHS RPMS FOIA release. The bill
generator in RPMS is much more than a single routine. There is also the
newer software from Infomatix.

If that routine is available it would give us a big headstart.

I just want to comment about the concept of putting lines of code into
the various revenue-generating packages in VistA. I think that should
be
avoided as much as possible. In RPMS the approach has been to put a
special cross reference onto the Visit file (file 9000010) that flags
the
visit as having not been checked by billing. Every night during off
hours a background program runs to check all of the new and changed
visits and checks all of the data elements in the various package that
keep data that might be billable items. Bills are generated in that
way
without requiring mods to the clinical packages.
