HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Question for L users One of our facilities have long term patients and we have them admitted during a fiscal 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, to Medicare 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.
