N.J. Admin. Code § 10:52-6.47 - Drugs Sold to Patients (DRU)
(a) The
functions included in the Drugs Sold to Patients (DRU) cost center are as
follows:
1. The Drugs Sold to Patients center
shall be used for the accumulation of the invoice cost and corresponding
revenue of all pharmaceuticals and intravenous solutions individually charged
to patients including chemotherapy drugs. The invoice/inventory cost of
non-charged drugs (pharmaceuticals) or intravenous solutions issued by the
Pharmacy to other centers shall be transferred to the using centers, preferably
on a monthly basis. If such items are sold in other centers, the cost of those
items must be transferred to this center. The overhead cost of preparing and
issuing drugs and intravenous solutions sold directly to patients must be
accumulated in the Pharmacy center.
2. Medically prescribed food supplements, if
charged directly to patients shall be included in Drugs Sold to Patients. Cost
and revenue associated with blood (that is, whole blood and packed red cells)
and blood components (that is, fibrinogen and gamma globulin) shall be excluded
from the Laboratory center and reported as reconciling items. Excluded from
this center are the cost and revenue associated with drugs furnished to a
patient for use after his episode of hospital care (except for those items
where it would be medically unreasonable to limit the patient's use to the
episode of hospital care). Included in the center are the cost and revenue
associated with drugs and intravenous solutions sold under renal dialysis and
home health agency programs as specified in Medicare HIM 29 and HIM 11. For the
address for obtaining Medicare documents, see
N.J.A.C.
10:52-6.20(b).
