Just a followup.  We are MAGIC 5.61 PP 4 and we are not having these
issues.  I tried several scenarios and all seemed to work correctly.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Pharmacy 5.6 Charge problem

 

Just a warning for those going to 5.6.

If you enter a IV with an additive like kcl 40 meq vial and a carrier of
NS 1000ml the charge generated is correct, but if you use more than 1
unit of the additive for example 80 meq in ns 1000ml it will not
recalculate the charge for the cost or handling fee of the additional
additive.

This holds true also if you start you IV with KCL 80meq and ns 1000 ml,
it will only calculate the charge for 1 vial and 1 handling fee.

They thought they had a DTS 7124 to fix but it is not working in their
inhouse system either.

We noticed when the charge for some chemo came up 3810.56 but the cost
was 4350.10.

We updated April 11 and now it May 23 so we are talking thousands of
dollars in lost charges.

Just giving everyone the heads up on this issue
