What is the best version of crystal reports for Centricity and what all do we need to buy?

SAP Crystal Reports is what you need in order to develop reports and customize existing reports (things like a SuperBill are usually editable with Crystal).
While available from many sources, here is one: http://www.crystalreports.com/

Thanks! I was looking at that but was afraid I wasn't buying the correct version.

I am using an older version, but I think Crystal 2013 is acceptable for most purposes.
Also, there are many people on the CHUG site that can assist with questions, or provide consultant help (if specifics are needed.)
Good luck.

Is Crystal Reports version 2016 compatible for use on CPS 12.0.13 and/or 12.2 or does one need to use Crystal reports version 2013?

If you are using Crystal Reports to modify existing reports then obviously you need it, but the thing to keep in mind is if you are using it for new development then you may want to consider using SQL Server Reporting Service SSRS) to develop new reports.
It has been rumored for quite a while now that GE will eventually discontinue the use Crystal Reports with Centricity. Who knows when this "eventually" will actually occur, but this is the reason why we have done all new report development in SSRS for the last couple of years.
