======================================
I wanted to alert all of you of a definite "bug" in Meditech. We are 5.5,
SR2.
On August 1st, we were able to use the J-code functionality in BAR for
pharmacy orders. I was auditing several patients from our outpatient
oncology center and found that when an order for Aranesp 300 mcg was ordered
using the split order function and 1 x 100 mcg syringe and 1 x 200 mcg
syringe that there was no patient charge. I discovered that with the
outpatient split orders, if an order type defaults in and once you enter
past the charge field, the amount changes from what it should be to zero
(that's correct, nada). I found 5 orders for August where instead of being
billed $1,900 dollars, the patient was not billed for anything. Pretty
expensive error in my book! Now, the weird thing is that once it changes to
zero, if you go back and change the charge type, the charge sticks; go
figure. I will report this to Meditech the first thing in the morning and
hope they have a fix, but since it is not their policy to notify anyone of a
problem unless you find it, I thought everyone might want to know about this
one.
