Is there any way to add information to the patient banner?
I would like to add secondary insurance on the patient banner?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!!

You certainly can add information to the banner. You can make multiple banners if you want to. The information in the help file is pretty good (see below). Making changes to a banner is similar to making a letter or handout. I took a quick look and couldn't find a data symbol for secondary insurance, so you might be out of luck there.
Change patient banners
All factory banners for inactive, deceased, or obsolete patients automatically display in red; you cannot change that color. However, your custom banners will display with whatever colors you define.
Before you begin...
Set up headers and margins for chart documents.
Save a copy of the banner as a backup. When editing patient banners, it’s easy to make mistakes and hard to fix them.
To change patient banners
1. In Administration, select Charts > Chart > Patient Banner.
2.Click Change.
3.To change the banner name, for Name, add, overwrite, delete, or change text as necessary.
4.To change the banner content, add, overwrite, delete, or change text as necessary. To delete a data symbol, overwrite or delete its definition.
5.To format the banner text and check spelling, use the Edit toolbar.
6.To use a data symbol to insert information specific to a particular patient, document, user, or location of care, do the following:
Place your cursor in the text area where you want to insert the data symbol.
Click Insert Symbol.
The Insert Symbol window opens.
To find a data symbol to insert, enter all or part of a symbol name, then click Find.
Select the data symbol and click OK.
7. Click OK.
8. Set up patient banner preferences as needed.

Use this MEL function
INS_PLAN(type)
where type
"P" for primary insurance
"S" for secondary insurance
"O" for other insurance
You also have
INS_NAME(type)
INS_PHONE(type)
works the same way
