I disagree. Your department managers should be running reports and analyzing charge level data month to month in order to stay on top of their businesses. That's why I believe that the departments are the primary users of charge level data. I understand that the techs and nurses on the floor use the ITS or OE mnemonics. I was referring to a higher level business practice that should be understood and questioned by your leaders. We can only manage the revenue cycle when we begin to walk the talk that owning the charging process is the responsibility of the primary departments. Billing owns the claims' process.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Good morning again, To Kimberly and Robert, Robert, Kim I correct your audience of primary users, is the most important issue. However, on the clinical side, LAB, ITS, OE, PHA etc. no one sees the B/AR mnemonic. Each of those modules use the modules assigned mnemonic for ordering, etc. Certain reports from ESS and other trending modules, pull from BAR identify the billing code. Otherwise, for "Charge Master Listings" etc....that is the only time the bill code is relevant. Again, as Kim stated the primary users of the charge procedure dictionary is the most important, Standardly the people that see the output from this dictionary the most are the billers. They don't actually use the dictionary, but the output from the dictionary is what shows on the account and for follow-up and knowing what is being billed. Again, just hoping to help. Please call if you should need more assistance or if I can help in any way.
