At Cambridge Health Alliance we recently found out that PRV will no longer be available in Meditech version 5.6. Sites will need to migrate to Meditech's MPM module. We are currently on C/S version 5.5 2 and use a single Meditech Facility. Throughout our organization we use PRV to enter both Part A and Part B charges for our clinic visits, MD consults, Radiology Part B, OR supplies, etc. This change will have a significant impact on our charge entry process. In PRV we rely heavily on the "Send to B/AR?" flag in the Charge Procedure Code dictionary to determine what charges are sent to Meditech B/AR for Part A billing (facility charges) and what charges are sent to our 3rd party billing vendors via an NPR download for Part B billing (professional charges). We are told that in Meditech 5.6 the MPM module will not have the ability to send charges to BAR.
We have started to look into the MPM-A product. However, we do not believe it has the functionality to meet our needs. The application only allows for the use of the PPR account type that is separate from the hospital account number. In addition, the MPM module will not have the ability to send charges to B/AR. Is anyone using PRV in a similar manner? How are other Meditech sites entering their part A (hospital facility) and B (professional) charges for ambulatory and ancillary areas?
