We have an Order Type of POM which is set as Manual Dispense "YES". We have a Charge Type of POM with an attached Charge Formula of POM which charges a $12.00 handling charge per order. A charge of one is entered at order entry. The Pharmacist enters the order in this manner for a product within our drug dictionary and makes a label comment that it was verified by them on such and such a day. The charge is for the Pharmacists time in making a positive identification of the med and the labeling confirmation.

We currently are putting the med in as home med labeling it as patient home med and placing it on MAR so that we charge a sm administration fee. Med Exec wants to know why we are doing it this way, and feel the patient should not be charged. Pharmacy thoughts are eliminating this would totally bypasses the BMV system that we have set up. Any thoughts to support us would be great.
