That is exactly what we do. In the BAR Procedure Dictionary, for all reference lab tests, we have a fee schedule of MCDREF=$0.00. The test description and CPT code cross from the lab to BAR, but with a charge of $0.00. It works well for us.

Financial Analyst Jackson County Memorial Hospital 580-477-7484 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Barbara Kelly Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 12:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] re:Medicaid charge rule for lab In our state we cannot charge for one financial class of patients who have their labs sent to a reference lab. I have been working with Meditech for 6 weeks on a charge rule written in lab that will send the test to BAR but apply a $0.00 charge and then allow for the CPT code to cross to ABS-because we will be maintaining the results of the tests so ABS has to code the record. The latest rule we tried sends a general bill code to BAR with one description-reference test-no charge and a zero dollar amount. The problem is that BAR can't see the test and there is no associated CPT code. Has anyone out there successfully written a rule (in either BAR or LAB) that displays the test and CPT code in BAR, but a zero dollar amount for a specific financial class? Hopefully without writing a rule for every test in the LAB dictionary....
