We have a lab only test called MISC with an editable charge code attached. We pull a report daily for all MISC orders. We then consult our files for the respective ref lab we send the specimen to to get their charge to us and all the CPT's involved. We add a "processing" dollar amount to the ref lab charge and enter that either thru a B/AR batch or thru LIS billing. We then enter a comment on the patients account in B/AR listing the CPT's and associated dollars for each. Works well for us. Minimal if any late charges.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi all, Our lab staff have attached these types of tests to a "charge procedure" that does not exist on the B/AR side. That way it hits their rejection batch daily. They use the rejection batch as their work list and delete the rejected charge once they manually batch the correct one. It seems to work pretty smoothly, but that's a B/AR opinion :-) Amber Holcombe B/AR Analyst, Patient Accounts Olympic Medical Center "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways; Champagne in one hand - Chocolate in the other; body totally worn out; and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!" -----Original Message----- From: Rogers, Janiece - MMC Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 1:31 PM To: 'Freeman, Elizabeth'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Miscellaneous Charging We print the "Master Log by Procedure" out of B/AR 2-3 times a week for the charge code for the MISC test; then the proper charge is manually entered via "Process a Batch" routine there. We have the test name, code, and price information because the MISC test has a query attached that asks for this information and the lab staff member who entered the MISC test prints a Specimen Inquiry which is saved in a "to be billed" folder. It's a bit pedestrian, but it does work.

We have the tests set up in the lab module, but more specifically would like to know how the charges are getting on the bill correctly.
