Hello - we are now using AthenaPractice v20, and I'm just wondering if there is a way to add a completely custom VFC code to the system? The Texas Immunization Registry (ImmTrac2) uses the following VFC codes, with the bottom 5 in the list applying to adults who receive vaccine through the adult safety net program. In the Admin settings, I don't see a way to add new entries to the list.

Code Eligibility Status
0064 V01 Private Pay/Insurance
0064 V02 Medicaid
0064 V03 No Insurance
0064 V04 American Indian/Alaskan Native
0064 V05 Underinsured, FQHC/RHC/Deputized
0064 TXA01 CHIP
0064 TXA02 Underinsured, Not FQHC/RHC/Deputized
0064 TXA04 Adult, No Insurance
0064 TXA05 Adult, Underinsured
0064 TXA06 Adult, Private Pay/Insurance

I'm answering my own question LOL. I figured it out. You can use the MEL_ADD_CONTENT function to add your own VFC entries with custom HL7 codes. Some examples I added that use the custom HL7 codes TXA04 and TXA06:

{MEL_ADD_CONTENT("GE.IMM.MASTER.VFC.CUSTOM^013^Adult-Uninsured^Adult-Uninsured^TXA04^Y^^2^")} {MEL_ADD_CONTENT("GE.IMM.MASTER.VFC.CUSTOM^014^Adult-Private Pay/Insurance^Adult-Private Pay/Insurance^TXA06^N^^3^")}

You can then go to Admin-->Charts-->Chart-->Immunization VFC Settings to set the funding source and order modifiers. Would recommend trying this exclusively in a DEV environment before implementing in production. If you screw up, you can use:

{MEL_GET_CONTENT("GE.IMM.MASTER.VFC.CUSTOM","contains")}

to view entries and

{MEL_REMOVE_CONTENT(ID)}

to remove entries.
