Question for L users
One of
our facilities have long term patients and we have them admitted during a fical
year on one account number, and at the end of the fiscal year discharge them and
get them a new number. The problem the finance area is having is in
reporting of when an account has to be changed from being medicare primary to
medicaid primary or sp primary due to certification approval. Please see
if example below.
Question for you or any MEDITECH facilities
with this related issue.
Do you know of any reporting in BAR that might handle the following situation?
Long term care patients that certified stays may change from MEDICARE, to
MEDICAID to SP during that years confinement.
This means that a single account number might go from having Medicaid the
primary payor, toMedicare being the primary payor, and back to Medicaid. While
the claim form system can sort of handle this, the other Meditech reporting
elements apparently can't. While working on the budget, I have to be able to
separate the charges up between the charges covered by
Medicare (MCRLTC), Medicaid (MCDLTC), and patient responsibility (SP - when
neither Medicare nor Medicaid is the primary payor) and the payments/discounts
relating to those charges.
I've not been able to get reports that keep the primary payor/insurance group
status that was in place when the charges were incurred, so I'm looking for
options.
Any advice on how to handle this type of situation?

If
anyone has any type of reporting that they are currently using in this type of
situation, would you be willing to share that information with
us.
