Inconsistent Injection-infusion Charging

Due to the complexity of injection and infusion charging rules, hospital clinics often calculate charges that are inconsistent with other outpatient clinics within an integrated delivery network (IDN) that are providing similar services. Hospital administrators are gaining awareness of this problem and understand the need to achieve consistency or risk lack of compliance with the regulations and requirements. Increasingly this makes a hospital vulnerable to audits and could easily put revenue at risk.

LYNX C/Point^® integrates into the clinic workflow and calculates charges for the persistently-complex infusion administration and injection rules using the LYNX infusion algorithm. C/Point’s intuitive infusion service user interface requires clinicians to record just the basic elements of the infusion regimen without the need of memorizing the details of complex infusion service rules. And since C/Point is a web-based application, its rule sets and algorithms are kept current with the latest regulations.The results are defensible charges against RAC and other audits for routine therapeutic, prophylactic, diagnostic (TPD) injections and infusions for one or more hospital-owned outpatient clinics.
