Can anyone explain the rationale behind the change below? It was nice to have that "bluebook" feature for PPO plans in v6.1, but I'm sure there must have been some problem that led to its being disabled.

When entering insurance payments for PPO, allowed fee entries no longer save to the PPO fee sched.

Yes, big problems. Can you imagine if someone has entered in their PPO fee schedule very carefully, only to find out later that it was inadvertently altered by someone who filled in an allowed fee when entering a payment? With PPO's you already have access to the fee schedule, so it's pointless to also enter it on the fly upon receiving payments. The "bluebook" feature is for plans that you _don't_ know the fee schedules for ahead of time.

That's kind of what I anticipated; considering that writeoffs are applied automatically, it's understandable. Thanks for the reply.
