Waiver Granted for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2013/2014 Interim Claiming Time Survey Training

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has granted approval to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to waive the annual time survey training for participants that were trained and time surveyed during the 2012/13 SFY.  These participants are eligible to time survey during the 2013/14 Interim Claiming.  The waiver does not apply to those participants that are new or never time surveyed during the 2012/13 SFY.  The Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring time survey training is provided to these participants prior to the time surveyed period.

NOTE: The second quarter time survey period for the 2013/14 Interim Claiming begins December 9, 2013.

If you have any questions, please contact your MAA Coordinator or send your requests to SMAA@dhcs.ca.gov.
