Hey Cindy- I think the source for your charge formulas, or at least a good start, would be your managed care contracts (BCBS, etc.). Several include what the reimbursement will be (AWP + or -) and will also include carve-outs for individual drugs. If that doesn't work, I've found that a dart board is about as reliable! Your B/AR folks should be able to help zero out those Medicare charges on their side by global settings to specific rev codes (259, etc.). Best of luck - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cindy Mireley Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 8:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] FW: Pharmacy Charges Greetings, We are reviewing the way medications are being charged, and the current charge formula in the pharmacy module and several questions came up. 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.
