Debra,

 

The recommendation that I have is that the Cath Lab use the OR Management Module, as it has an inventory control and preference cards build for use.

 

Example:  Implant, if the items are all listed with the same HCPCS number, "JNNNN or  a QNNNN or VNNNN", it is possible for your to have 14 items on your inventory side of the system (MM or OR), preferable in the OR inventory, and send to only one billing item in B/AR.

 

However, it is totally dependent on the "HCPCS" code, used for claim billing, for the supply item. Wire cath, sheaths, etc. if they are billable separately, but do not have to have a separate "J or Q" code, you can capture on the inventory side and send to the same billing code,the description simply is Wire Cath, or Sheath, etc.

 

The inventory is then set to capture the useage and the billing will strictly bill for this "items".

 

This has to be a decision, for management to decide, if there is a need for a one on one relationship between Inventory and billing.

 

One other thing, you can build MM or OR, item numbers to be the same as your billing number in B/AR.  This makes a one on one match really useful.

 

Hope this helps,
