We too are a mixed platform site and have had problems similar but not exactly like yours. One question is; are your background jobs running as foreground (on the desktop with the server logged on) or as services?

Unfortunately, in Massachusetts, most if not all of our payers have indicated that they want the legacy number in FL 57. So, as usual, there appears to be no standardization. I am waiting for just 1 payer to reject a claim, or publish a UB04 guideline that states they want the legacy number in FL 51, so that I have some justification and documentation for asking Meditech to make a change. Then Meditech will have to give you the ability to put the legacy number in that field. Gary J.

I am being told by Blue Cross and others that the Legacy number must go in this field or the claim will not be processed. The response from Meditech was that they had never heard of this? I had also heard it on the Medicare conference call.

We regularly experience problems with our c/s ITS BG2 server. Periodically, the OS starts throwing out multiple "failure to initialize memory pool" messages on the server. This causes messages in certain background jobs to stop filing and eventually, all background jobs begin to fail and go red. To date, the only way to resolve this has been to shut down the daemon and re-boot BG2. We don't think it's hardware related, because when we moved the jobs to BG3, it experienced similar problems. We are running NTServer o/s. Has anyone experienced anything like this or have any recommendations? TIA!
