Marie, The easiest way to pull this off would be create a date type query for "orig admit date" and pull the response into the admit date field on your claims. You could create a claim check that would fail if the query was not answered. Amber Holcombe B/AR Analyst, Patient Accounts Olympic Medical Center -----Original Message----- From: Marie Singleton Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] MAGIC BAR for Nursing Home use We are using the MAGIC BAR module for our Nursing Home facility & are running into several issues. The claims are billed on an interim basis, but some of the patients have been residents for 4+ years. We have accounts with 50+ interim bills & many of the accounts are a mess. We are aware of the C/S LTC module, but this is not an option financially. We considered discharging the accounts at the end of each year to reduce the number of bills on each account, but Medicare requires the admit date to be the date the patient was originally admitted (not the beginning of the year). There is also the issue of Medicaid reimbursement that changes each month. Any thoughts that you may have are welcome. Marie E.
