OpenMRS 3.x Billing ESM

The OpenMRS Billing Module is designed to streamline the financial operations within healthcare settings by facilitating the management of patient billing, payments, and service pricing. This module integrates seamlessly with the OpenMRS platform, allowing healthcare providers to generate bills, track payments, and manage various billable services. It is an essential tool for ensuring transparency and accuracy in financial transactions within healthcare facilities, contributing to efficient service delivery.

The Billing ESM is a microfrontend for OpenMRS 3.x designed to manage healthcare billing workflows. It allows users to:

• Generate and manage bills
• Capture payments and insurance details
• Configure billable services and categories
• Integrate with visits and patient dashboards

Dependency: Note that this frontend module depends on the backend module called "Billing Module": https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-billing

For more information, please see the OpenMRS Frontend Developer Documentation.

Local development

Check out the developer documentation in the OpenMRS Wiki.

This monorepo uses yarn.

To install the dependencies, run:

yarn

To start a dev server, run:

yarn start

Once the dev server launches, log in and select a location. You will get redirected to the home page. Once there:

• Navigate to the Billing dashboard on the left panel to view the billing history. Additional billing functionality exists in the Patient Chart. You'll also find the Billable Services dashboard in the System Administration page.
• For more information on how to navigate and use the billing module, please refer to this documentation

Running tests

To run tests for all packages, run:

yarn turbo run test

To run tests in watch mode, run:

yarn turbo run test:watch

To run a specific test file, run:

yarn turbo run test -- visit-notes-form

The above command will only run tests in the file or files that match the provided string.

You can also run the matching tests from above in watch mode by running:

yarn turbo run test:watch -- visit-notes-form

To generate a coverage report, run:

yarn turbo run coverage

By default, turbo will cache test runs. This means that re-running tests wihout changing any of the related files will return the cached logs from the last run. To bypass the cache, run tests with the force flag, as follows:

yarn turbo run test --force

To run end-to-end tests, run:

yarn test-e2e

Read the e2e testing guide to learn more about End-to-End tests in this project.

Updating Playwright

The Playwright version in the Bamboo e2e Dockerfile and the package.json file must match. If you update the Playwright version in one place, you must update it in the other.

⚙️ Configuration

You can customize billing behavior using OpenMRS frontend config overrides.

🔧 Example Config

{
  "openmrs": {
    "config": {
      "billing": {
        "defaultCurrency": "UGX",
        "pageSize": 20,
        "patientCategory": {
          "paymentDetails": "fbc0702d-...",
          "insuranceScheme": "aac48226-..."
        },
        "nonPayingPatientCategories": {
          "childUnder5": "1528AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

📌 Ensure all UUIDs used here exist in your OpenMRS instance.
🧩 Configuration can be managed via your MF shell app or import-map-deployer

Troubleshooting

If you notice that your local version of the application is not working or that there's a mismatch between what you see locally versus what's in dev3, you likely have outdated versions of core libraries. To update core libraries, run the following commands:

# Upgrade core libraries
yarn up openmrs@next @openmrs/esm-framework@next

Reset version specifiers to next. Don't commit actual version numbers

git checkout package.json

Run yarn to recreate the lockfile

yarn
