in CHARGEMASTER & CHARGE CAPTURE

Hello:

I would appreciate hearing how other organizations build out GI Services (ERCP, Colonoscopy, etc.)in the chargemaster with revenue code 750? Is it time based and soft coded? Charged by # of interventions? Hard coded? Appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

    We do hardcoded by HCPCS/CPT, but this causes a lot of changes, so we are looking into some form of soft coding.

    Most of our clients have a time based structure and soft code the services. It helps with capturing the differences in physician time and provides better coding as something that is included in something else is not "double billed" plus it gave the department a better idea of what procedures were really being done.
