We are C/S v5.5 sr 2 and are struggling with having 2 or more venipuncture charges (CPT 30415) drop on the bill for the same DOS. We have the VP set up as a charge type test and set duplicate hours to 24. Not perfect but OK. Our Phlebos use the "receive by specimen" routine and add the V charge globally thru the "Charge" field on the top of the screen. Somehow/sometimes the charge gets added twice or more to the patient account for the same DOS. Usually two different Phelbos (one receives one of the specimens - then another Phlebo receives the other specimen for lets say a recollection - both enter the charge V in the "Charge" field.) I cannot reproduce this in test, of course. I only get one charge - the Phlebos can get 2. The Lab feature for dup hours does not appear to be consistently working. We have not used the option in LIS Customer Def Params yet as that is driven by prefix and we will have to do some rebuilding first. I have opened a MT task, but nothing yet.
We thought there may be a way on the back end to catch more than one CPT per date before the bill was cut. Does anyone know how?
