We are looking to move a database to either 12.0.5 or 12.0.6 before the end of the year to continue with Meaningful use. Based on experience with either I am looking for suggestions/thoughts from users on which you would choose, 12.0.5 or 12.0.6. The reason we are hesitant to go to .6 is because we recently heard of some challenges with statements to patients and collection challenges. But considering the number of fixes in .6 is it the better choice?
Any input appreciated.

wait for 7, should be out in 1 or 2 week.
12.0.6 is not recommended and is even being pulled out of the shelf by GE

David, can you please elaborate on "12.0.6 is not recommended and is even being pulled out off the shelf by GE." Did a communication go out from GE saying this or was this something you were told directly.
The reason I ask, is we are on it now and are having some issues with our statements but have yet to hear back from GE.
Thanks

David,
As soon as I posted that we received a response. Here is what GE told us:
"I wanted to follow up with you in regards to the statement issue to let you know that our development team has determined the root cause for the statement issue that was introduced in CPS 12.0.6 which has been currently submitted as a defect SPR#61659. Currently the temporary fix is to roll back the MPMStatement stored procedure to version 12.0.5. I have attached the instructions in which you can provide to your IT staff in the event that your site would like to complete this as currently this is recommended. However, this means that the fixes that were included in the 12.0.6 version of the MPMStatement stored procedure will be lost which includes the fix for the following: The ability to generate a demand statement when there was a credit balance and to correct a randomness in statements not being generated for a patient who has a balance in 2 or more facilities or companies.
The service request within support will be closed but the issue will remain open within Engineering until a permanent fix is provided to fix all 3 issues."

Additionally I had also asked our account manager about the choice between 12.0.5 vs 12.0.6 and was provided this information from her today. Recommendation from her is to wait for 12.0.7. Perhaps we will get more information at the state of the union on 12/11.
“This script will also be incorporated into Service Pack 7 once available in early December. Due to the importance of ensuring that CQR customers have implemented this script, the decision was made to pull all prior Service Packs down from the Service Portal (for CEMR 9.8) and from the Millbrook server (for CPS 12), to reduce the chance that a customer inadvertently upgrades to one of these service packs after having already completed the MU script, which would effectively revert them to a pre-script state. “
