Hey Charlie- Thanks for the "heads-up"...you 'da man! Kevin McConnell, PharmD. Clinical Consultant (713)480-6810 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.RPhInformatics.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Downs Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 2:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Pharmacy Outpatient Split Orders Not Charging All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== 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.
