Please post responses to the list -- I am evaluating our current practice and feel this should be handled totally in the Billing Office (I am the Coding Manager).
By doing this in the Abstract (Coding), we end up with incorrect DRGs, incorrect Dates on procedures and we submit incorrect data to the State, as well as internal data has the procedure coded twice....... Do you "bundle" all Ins types, or only Medicare ?? Do you "bundle" "like diagnosis" only ??? I am definately interested in "Best Practices" for 72 Hour Bundling, your comments and input is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Patti Markunas, RHIT, CCS Manager, Coding Washington County Hospital Hagerstown, Maryland ----- Original Message ----- From: "MEDITECH-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 8:07 AM Subject: [MEDITECH-L] ABS-combining accounts.case mix and procedure dates > ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- > Subject: ABS-combining accounts.case mix and procedure dates > From: "Sarah L Foust" > Date: Mon, December 18, 2006 11:38 am > To: [email protected] > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > How are you all handling accounts that need combined under Medicare 3 day > rule?
