Introducing the Chargemaster - Brief Article

Health Management Technology, Oct, 2001

If you' re in the market for HIS, make sure to visit the 3M Health Information Systems booth. You'll find an extensive range of products and services, as well as the newly introduced 3M[TM] Chargemaster[TM] Manager software system. This system is a front-end tool that addresses coding problems at their source. It automatically identifies missing charges and outdated or incorrect CPT codes on your charge master. It builds a detailed audit trail of all charge master changes affecting the quality of charge master management and accountability. The system also identifies linked codes, the billable CPT and HCPS codes missing from the charge master, invalid or obsolete codes (making suggestions for the right ones), and common compliance problems. The Chargemaster Manager is easily accessible and offers up-to-date reference guides for all CPT and HCPCS codes, as well as a comprehensive audit trail for every charge code, and an online memo feature for each item. 3M has a lot to offer, so stop by for a demonstration. 3M Health Information Systems, Westminster, CO, www.3m.com
