I'm looking for some ideas of how hospitals are handling the charging for Injections and Infusions that are given to the patient in Observation Status? Our nurses often do not know when a patient is Inpatient or Observation, and they do not charge for such injections/Infusions. However, if the documentation is provided we want to capture those charges for our Observation patients, but who will capture?? Unit clerks, Coding staff?? I don't think it is realistic to ask nurses to understand the already complex guidlines for Injection/Infusion coding? I would appreciate any thoughts or advice.
Thanks!!
