We went thrpugh this when Medicare changed the rules and we had to assign a new TOB (Type of bill) to these claims. Meditech gave us a custom variation of Claim Check TOB141 that looks at the MNEMONIC of the Admission Source rather than their no longer functional Admission Source Code which is defined for the Admission Source. Subsequently we also spec'd a Claim Check that will FAIL the claim if there is a "Travel Fee" on the claim (CPT CODE) but there is no Veni charge on the claim FOR THE SAME DATE OF SERVICE. (RCR's were a problem).

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi all We have had a request from other areas of our hospital to start charging a venipuncture charge if they draw the specimen. We have two areas set up in our venipuncture rule to not drop a charge because they ALWAYS draw their own. The problem that is arising with this new request, is that these new areas MOSTLY draw their own, but there are instances where the lab will draw the specimen. These locations are going to manually enter the charge via PCS instead of having the charge automatically drop with our venipunture rule. I don't want to add the burden of having our phlebotomists try and remember to add a charge for these locations if they happen to draw the specimen. Has anyone encountered the same issues and what was your resolution? Thanks Dianna Harrington Clinical Applications Analyst MIS Department The William W.
