If a patient visits our hospital twice in the same day, we do register each visit separately. If the patient has two order, say Lab & Rad, in the same day, and the patient never leaves the building, we register once. Our rule is that if the patient leaves the building, they are reregistered. If the patient stays, we'll just add it on the same registration. Valerie Holdener, RHIT Anderson Hospital Business/Process Analyst ph.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Cindy, this is always a tough call, mainly because there are so many possible different scenarios, as well as the fact that Medicare requires (in most cases) that those visits be combined on the same claim. But in this narrow example that you've defined, I believe that our clients would use the same account number. I assume that once the patient was registered and blood was drawn and processed, and the physician received the Results Report, he may have simply ordered additional tests based on the first Results. Even if the patient physically came back to the hospital to have more blood drawn, I'm not sure that this should quality for a separate visit. Gary J.
