I have a question about the changes to the internal representation of insurance plans in version 7.5 (see http://opendental.com/manual/version7_5.html). On that page you mention that this change will be the foundation for other exciting features - could one of those features possibly be allowed fee schedules by plan (which was discussed way back when the "blue book" feature was first introduced here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1231&start=0)?

Yes. We need to get all those automatic allowed fee schedules out of the current fee schedule interface and instead build a tool directly into the InsPlan interface. The tool should let users see historical trends for each code and fine-tune what the future estimates should be for each code.

has this feature progressed to allow us to turn on the allowed fee function?

We just officially named that feature Blue Book because all the other names were too hard to remember. There is a new page in the manual addressing this feature and its shortcomings.
