We are
using LSS/Meditech(MPM) and have approximately 30 databases. LSS has
provided several customs for us regarding statement formats, etc. However,
one of the things they said they COULD NOT do was to print a separate
statement generated by DataBase Level B, Provider/Physician - or any
of the other dictionaries in the system that allow you to report statistics
separately within the database. We were forced to split our very
first database into 2 databases within 2 weeks of implementation because of
that. In our situation, both practices were housed in the same
building - with separate waiting rooms and one of the doctors saw patients at
both clinics. Both were Pediatric; one was specifically for
Development. The same staff (Director, on down) worked both
practices. It made sense initially to put them in the same database.
However, after implementation we discovered that each practice used a separate
bank for deposits. We had no way of knowing on a daily basis how to
do the deposits from the cash received. That's when we approached LSS
about splitting out the statements and ended up creating another database.
We do have other databases that have multiple practices. However, those
practices all use the same bank for deposits. For example, one of our
databases is a Psych Practice, with locations in several towns. That
database has 3 practices, all using a combined statement. Sorry, for the
"book" that I wrote. Guess my answer is that LSS told us that it
can't be done.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Meditech MPM and LSS QuestionA Meditech MPM and LSS Question:Does anyone have a successful solution to implementing LSS/Meditech(MPM) for multiple physician groups, independent physician practices, and employed physicians in one database without having a combined statement? We are looking for some flexibility on the billing side that will allow statements to be generated by provider/physician instead of by database. We were told, if you use a single database approach, you can only received a "combined statement". There are concerns about knowing of "other" visits. Additionally, if only a partial payment is made with a combined statement...who gets the payment?Any help would be appreciated.Please respond to:Thank you,Mark Maddamma__________________________________________________
