[MT-L] EXT RE: PASS

Currently we have questions on the IV Assessment
Ideally the nurse goes into the IV assessment to “code” the IV push/1st hr Infusion when they administer it. Doesn’t always happen that way.
Injections are charged when the nurse documents the injection site on the MAR.
Currently I am doing a 100% review of all ER discharged patients (daily), reviewing what was documented and charged by nursing, then going into billing and making corrections.
I work in IT. Currently this is being discussed as should it be continued by IT, done by the ED manager/staff, or moved to Coding.
We are a 6.08 CAH facility.

Good afternoon,
We are looking at our infusion, injection charges for the ED and was wondering how other facilities are doing this process? We currently have documentation screens for the nurses and our coders and entering their charges along with the ED professional charge. We need to reevaluate the process, and was hoping others would share their process? Are you charging with documentation of the nurses, and if so, how are you capturing the beginning and ending times? Our ED mgr seems to think the coders should continue to do this, but I feel we are probably the only ones doing this for them?
We are a Magic 5.67 facility and would appreciate any input from others.
