1) If we roll the ED patient to an Inpatient, I believe we can still capture statistics on each patient type. Is this correct? The ED statistics will still reflect the ED visit in the Admissions Statistics Reports in the Admissions Module. In the Abstracting Module there is a field in the compiled reports the is called ADM FROM ED and this will equal a "Y" if the patient was admitted from the ed, so you can still capture the ED visit volumes in Abstracting as well with this field reference. 2) We will still need to produce a separate bill for some of the rolled patients based on payor requirements. We realize that will mean creating a new ED account after the ED patient has been rolled to In. Is there a way to move the charges from the now rolled account to the ED only account based on a specific date and time? I believe there is a way to do it by date but the date and time of decision to Admit is when the Admission becomes effective. Thus, any charges entered prior to that need to stay with the ED visit. Do know of a way to accomplish this? I don't believe this is a way to do it based on date and time. Just Service date, or procedure specific or both unless you manually move them by creating a batch which is not what you are looking for I am sure. 3)We do professional billing (1500). We're required to have the servicing location print on the 1500. If the ED patient rolls to an Inpatient and the EKG was done in the ED, how can we print the ED as the servicing location on the 1500? Can you use the 983 revenue code for that EKG. You could have a seperate EKG Charge for Ed that has the revenue code of 983 and then have a claim check field that refers to a map. 4)Our Medical Record Coders put the ED charges on the ED accounts. When we roll the ED to an IN, they will put the charge on the single account. However, if we need to create the ED only account for the specific payors, will our Coders have to place the charge directly on the ED account or can it be moved? - This is similar to question #2 above. I am a little unclear on your question, but when you roll charges in BAR from one account to another All or only specific charges can be moved so they can continue to put ED charges on the ED account and then move the charges in BAR to the Inpatient account if it is deemed necessary..
