Ed: We experienced the same problem. Our Business Office is also bundling any diags, procedures, cpt codes etc... within that given date range of charges being moved for each acct. This was the only way we could make sure that the claim was as accurate as possible. Good luck:)

In summary the problem relates to accounts that meet the 24 or 72 hour rule. When patients are registered twice on the same day or fall within the 72 hour Medicare rule, we have two separate accounts. We use reverse and re-batch to move the charges to one account. Often these accounts have been coded and by using that function any diagnosis or procedure codes are not moved from the old to the new account. This can result in claims being released without all of the needed diagnosis and procedure codes. Note: For a number of reasons, we have all of our ABS Patient Class dictionary entries "Unfinalize for Late Chgs" set to "N". We are wondering how other sites work around this issue. Is there a process someone has developed to deal with these? Any reports that can be suggested? Any input would be appreciated.
