It seems easy enough but I am certainly doing something wrong here. I have a simple MEL expression pulling in data from insurance company information

{INS_NAME("P")}

It works fine in the form but I can't get it to show up in text or print. This is what I have in chart note and printed form.

{IF INS_NAME("P")<>"" THEN fmt("Primary Insurance plan: ", "B") + INS_NAME("P") ELSE " " ENDIF}

I don't get what I am doing wrong. Thoughts?

I seem to recall something like this happening to me. I was using a 'data' display element, and added HRET to end of the field.

Wouldn't you need a fmt statement for the INS_NAME too? Or just put it all in a CFMT statement?

{CFMT(INS_NAME("P","","Primary Insurance plan: ","B","","")}
