Medical gives FreeB and OpenEMR greenlight

Posted by Fred Trotter on Friday February 13, 2004 @ 10:04 PM
from the FreeB dept.
FreeB the only medical billing system available under the GPL, has just passed a major milestone thanks to the OpenEMR Project. A X12 file generated by FreeB has passed the tests to be accepted by Medical. This is a pretty huge step since the Medical process is pretty difficult to navigate, and Medical is a very important payer in California. My thanks go out to the OpenEMR guys!! Maybe I can convice Igancio to give me my own topic now... Digg this article

This is great. A major milestone for all open source healthcare projects. Billing has always been a major issue.

Special thanks to the OpenEMR folks for tackling that obstacle too.

We appreciate all that Fred Trotter and FreeB has done for billing for open source applications. We have a developer test account for California's Medi-Cal to submit test data for approval for payment. Our FreeB submissions to Medi-Cal were accepted and approved.

We are now approximately 60% toward attaching OpenEMR fields to FreeB. After attaching all relevant OpenEMR fields to the appropriate area in FreeB, we will begin testing FreeB and OpenEMR for final approval with Medi-Cal.

The download of OpenEMR or information can be found at http://www.OpenEMR.net
