Hi Nancy- Do you use a FSV update? I have found that if you use the FSV to update your AWP's and if there is a problem with the package string your AWP can either be a fraction of what it should be, or exponentially higher than it should be. If an expensive drug was had the AWP set to a fictitious lower number and you have high utilization. A couple things - there are a couple examples of a Top 100 Report floating around; run that and concentrate on your higher utilized drugs. Second, look at the expensive drugs in a similar fashion. But one obvious thing is to make sure your workload hasn't decreased dramatically. Best of luck - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

Have you any of you had to explain this? If so what did you determine. Several of us are working on this and cannot determine why revenue is dropping from year to year. We charge by AWP markup. Several drugs are going generic so therefore the AWP is less and the patient charge is less. Have any of you found solutions that pertain to how the computer is charging? What are some other possible solutions? Thanks, Nancy W Lucas Information Technology Randolph Hospital Asheboro, NC 27203
