Hi Tammy,
 
We're C/S 5.4, but I imagine the same charging capabilities are present in Magic.  The majority of our procedures are charged using Time Charge Rules for OR and PACU.  We have an initial higher rate for the first 30 minutes which gets charged to everyone as a minimum based on the severity of their procedure (i.e. local anesthetic vs. major procedure), then we have a secondary rate for each additional 1/4 hour increment.   We are starting to look at procedure-based fees and in fact, when we recently opened our Cardiac Cath Lab, we do charge a Procedure Fee which is a fixed dollar amount.  We do, however, also charge by time for the Recovery associated with these procedures.  Hope this is helpful to you.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
Thanks,

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] OR CHARGING

Hello,

 

We are evaluating our OR Charging structure, and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share with me if you are charging by the minute or by procedure.  We are a Magic 5.4 sr2 facility, going 5.5 this summer and do not have an OR module at this time.  My CFO was wondering how many facilities were charging by these different methods.  We do not want any charge amounts, just to know how others are doing this process.

 

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
