We have this problem also, and I believe that it is not with the midnight to midnight vs noon-noon part. We do screen fills for our non-IV's. Let's say a patient is on a drug 4 times daily. The cart is filled on T for T+1. When filling the cart, 1 dose of that drug is returned. The cart filler changes the 4 to 3 to do the credit when doing the screen fill. Now, later on that day, the patient is discharged. If you are using the auto-credit routine, it will only autocredit 4 but since you billed for only 3, it will go back and autocredit a dose from T. This is really complicated, and without testing it out, I can't say that this is 100% accurate, but do know that whatever actually happens, it causes the credits on a particular date not to match the debits. Also, if you are doing manual credits, the same thing can happen if someone picks the wrong date of service. Charlie Charles R. Downs Pharm.D. Washington County Hospital 251 E.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com > ====================================== > > For those of you with Magic B/AR and Pharmacy module, I have a question about credits for drugs once a patient is discharged. > We have discussed with our pharmacy department how it works when credits are issued from pharmacy for a patient. They say they are set up as a noon to noon basis and B/AR is setup to charge from midnight to midnight. Is anyone else having trouble with credits coming from pharmacy and service dates not matching the dates they were charged? We have a claim check set up to stop the claim if there is a credit on one service date and no matching charge for that service date. It still means we have to fix the charges to make the claim correct. We would like to know if anyone else has this problem or are you set up in pharmacy on a midnight to midnight basis and does that work for you - no crediting problems? Any suggestions/input would be appreciated.
