My understanding is that you still want to generate a charge for Medicare patients - for the self administerable drugs. Once you identify all of those drugs and use the revenue code to designate them, then you can set up your claims to move that revenue code over to non-covered charges on Medicare patients. Medicare will then show this as patient responsibility. You should be able to automate all of this. Hope this helps.....

Is anyone aware of a resource/ reference on what the the standard charge formula should be? How is everyone determining the "mark up" if there is not a reference or resource? How is everyone handling the self-administered drugs and not generating a charge on Medicare patients? The possible solutions to this, involve a large amount of human intervention and resources and we were hoping to automate this as much as possible. Thank you Cindy Cindy M.
