Cerner Users: Non Pharmacy Contrasts
Our contrasts and radiopharmaceuticals are billed through the department charges and not through the pharmacy system. Because of this, we need to add the NDC to each charge posted each day for outpatient encounters.
Has anyone come up with a better solution than daily manually adding the NDC to the charge?
Thanks!

I don't know the details, but we have the Radiology charges auto-convert into Pharmacy charges inside of Cerner, which would then have the NDC present.
Which hospital?
Perhaps if I know your hospital, our Charge Team can track down the solution. Thanks!
If you use the Activity Type of Pharmacy vs. Radiology this will allow you to add the NDC. You can also try hardcoding in the pricingtool and then writing a claim rule to pull in the NDC. Might be able to get a claim rule to pull it in from the PowerForm.
Thanks. Unfortunately, neither department wants this. We used to be able to hardcode the NDC in the pricing tool but not with our upgrade last year.
