[MEDITECH-L] Duplicate Veni charges per date

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 glo

[MEDITECH-L] Lab VP charges - How do you define "encounter"

CMS says we can drop one venipuncture charge per encounter. It does not define encounter that I can tell. An encounter to us means a visit - could be one day or 10. If we followed once per encounter.you get the picture. What are other Labs doing out there? Dropping a VP once per date or onc

Interestingly enough, we are now putting in a custom from MT (we are C/S v5.5.2) that will cause a warning message to appear whenever a doc is selected when there is another doc with a similar name.
