Julie,
Our state Medicaid also has this requirement. Our paper claims are
built to report discharge hour "23" if no discharge hour is present on
the claim by using the following setup:
Over-
Field Type ride Value Map
21 CHECK Y DH MCD D/HR
MCD D/HR MAP:
If Data Value In File Is Use This Value On Clai
00 00
01 01
02 02
03 03
[etc... all values through 23 are entered]
For Other Data Values, Use 23
If There Is No Data Value, Use 23
For our 837 electronic claims; MT gave us a custom field to report
"2359" and the setup is below:
Over-
Field Type ride Value
2300/DTP1/03 CONSTANT N 2359
Hope this helps!!

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Discharge times for Outpatient Services
Hello,
Our state Medicaid (DSHS) apparently requires a discharge time on all
outpatient services. Since patients are typically seen in the lab or
radiology department and go home, no discharge time is ever entered by
ADM, and we have had someone in PFS manually entering a discharge time
on these accounts. Our PFS manager has asked me to post this question;
"Is there any way to create a custom report for outpatient claims where
the location is set at XXX (being LAB or RAD, for example) and the
discharge time is blank, to copy the ADM time over to the DIS time (or
ADM time plus 30 minutes, for example)". Does anyone have any ideas or
comments?
Thanks in advance,
