We have the same issue. What are other facilities doing when you have
situations like this? At one time, we inactivated 'other' as the provider so
that registration could not use it but somehow it got re-activated again. Now,
our Medical Staff Resource department has imposed that registration clerks now
go online to look up physician information (UPin's, license, etc) before they
enter in patients for physicians that are not set up in the dictionary. Then
they are to notify her so that she do the OSI check on them. To me, this is
not something that a registration clerk should have to do. If we forget though
and submit a claim with 'other' as the attending provider, those claims also
reject out of our state ub reporting batch as invalid claims. We set up every
single provider in our provider dictionary (including referring physicians out
of state).

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] RE: PROVIDER NOT IN MIS PROVIDER DICTIONARY
Hello L-list,
We frequently have patients who present to Admitting to register for outpatient
Labs or Imaging studies ordered by a physician or provider who has not yet been
entered into our MIS Provider dictionary. For the longest time we have used a
generic "OTHER" as the ordering physician (in order to get the patient
registered and taken care of quickly), with research and Provider dictionary
entries made by our Medical Staff Office after the fact, and sometimes rather
'haphazardly' at that. Because of the late entries, RAD reports often do not
get sent to the ordering provider (but get 'sent' somehow to Dr Other), and
with the new requirement for NPI numbers and claims potentially rejecting for
no NPI, among other things, we know we need to find a solution to this
situation.
Is this situation experienced by any of you? If so, how does your process work?
I'd welcome any suggestions, comments, or ideas.....by the way, we are Magic
5.5 SR3. Thanks in advance for any input,
Julie Carlson
