TIME STUDY. 19.1 Time study will be made available on the basis that an experienced seniority bargaining unit operator can make standard, if he/she performs at a normal pace and will allow for the fatigue factor and consideration of the customer’s scheduling requirements and their Customer’s own time studies. Such studies will be done on the day shift and by qualified time study people. All time studies done in conjunction with setting standards or improving standards and all data pertaining to standards or improved standards will be made available to the Chairman. Disputes regarding standards shall be subject to the Grievance procedure. In case of a grievance, the Union will be allowed access to the Plant to conduct its own time study in regard to the dispute and the Company will make available all data upon which they set their standards to the Union time study person. An arbitrator will not have jurisdiction to lower the standards below that required by the customer.
TIME STUDY. DHS shall convene a workgroup with ADP/DD consumers, delivery systems and SEIU to discuss a process for a task study and health related tasks. The workgroup will issue a report to DHS on or before June 30, 2014.
TIME STUDY. The State agrees to conduct a time study specifically for documentation time following the OARs provided above. The study will be completed by June 30, 2024 unless the parties mutually agree to extend. The Union agrees to fully support the study, will provide input and be kept abridged of the methods and plans used to conduct the study. The results of the Study shall be shared with the Union.
TIME STUDY. All school district employees who are involved in Medicaid administrative activities and support will participate in a random moment sample (RMS) as the preferred method of reporting time and effort. For more information on RMS see Random Moment Sampling in step 4. It is important that the local school district staff not knowingly perform activities that are already being offered or should be provided by the Division of Medicaid Services, State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, managed care organizations, and other entities who are providing outreach, referral and assistance to Medicaid eligible and potentially eligible children and their families. School districts should constantly strive to become knowledgeable of Medicaid and health care resources in their communities and develop mechanisms to coordinate activities. As appropriate, this requires the close coordination between school districts, Division of Medical Services, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, providers, community and non-profit organizations, and other entities related to the activities performed. IDEA provisions require school staff to perform a number of education related activities which can generally be characterized as child find, evaluation (initial) and reevaluation, and development of an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Schools are conducting the above activities for the purpose of fulfilling education-related mandates under IDEA; therefore, the associated costs of these activities are not allowable as administrative costs under SDAC. Administrative activities performed in support of medical services that are not coverable or reimbursable under the Medicaid program would not be allowable as Medicaid administration. In order for a medical service to be reimbursable, the provider furnishing such services must be participating in the Medicaid program and bill Medicaid for the service. It is not always administratively efficient for the schools to verify for each referral whether a provider is participating in the Medicaid program. The state has developed a provider participation rate in order to represent the percentage of referrals to participating providers.

TIME STUDY. Each MAC participant to be claimed must time study for the entire time study week. This is not a sampling or random moment approach. A time allocation methodology (time study) is applied to determine the appropriate percentage of personnel time dedicated to Medicaid administrative activities during the claiming period. Time studies are performed once each quarter for a seven consecutive day period. The time study captures information to distinguish allowable administrative costs from non-allowable costs. See Part II for an explanation of the time study methodology. Determination of Actual Expenditures Collection of the Actual Expenditure Data Financial information is collected from all participating entities each quarter. The financial data used to calculate the claim is based upon actual detailed expenditures obtained directly from the participating entity’s financial accounting system. The types of expenditures are: salaries; fringe benefits; indirect cost; personal service contracts; supplies; and others. Each financial accounting system from which the expenditure data are obtained must adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the following five principles apply to the preparation of the claim: • The methodology and calculated financial data are fully consistent with the requirements of OMB Circular A-87 and adhere to Medicaid principles of reimbursement as stated in CMS Publication 15-1. • The financial information is classified in a format that facilitates the application of the time study results. The appropriate MER is applied for each MAC code. • The process minimizes the time spent by financial personnel to meet the reporting requirements while maintaining assurance of the accuracy of the data. • Reporting is on a cash basis. All supporting documentation will be made available by the claiming entity for audit by the State of Ohio (including ODM, ODH, the Auditor of the State of Ohio, the Inspector General of Ohio, or any duly authorized law enforcement officials) and by agencies of the United States Government. All supporting documentation is retained by the claiming entity for three years from the last quarter of the federal fiscal year of reimbursement. ODH will adhere to the federal regulation 45CFR Subtitle A § 92.42 which states: “If any pending litigation involving the records has been started before the expiration of the three year period, the records must be retained until completion of the action and resolution of...
