Point of Care Glucose Testing Charge Capture

Hello all.
At our facility we run Abbott freestyle glucometers unsolicited. Currently we are not charge capturing any of these tests. Is this common practice?
Do other facilities charge capture their POC Glucose tests? If you do, what rules do you follow? Also what Middleware do you use and how do you set up your order groups?
Thanks for your time and help,

We do not capture glucose meter charges. They get bundled into the inpatient fees anyway. We see no point, more work for no more money.
Same- only our ancillary clinics charge for POC tests performed. All of our in-house POC charges are included in the inpatient fees.
We also do not capture inpatient BGM charges.
Thanks for the responses, i appreciate you all taking the time!
We do capture charges, it is tied to the LIS code that the middleware orders when the result comes through. Not saying we get reimbursed appropriately for it, but we do bill (for all POC).
