EC Corner
Random Moment Time Study:
In order to ensure the integrity of the Medicaid Administrative Claiming (MAC) program, it is important that your district's sampled participants complete the online Random Moment Time Study (RMTS) form. As a reminder, North Carolina Medicaid requires each district MUST reach a minimum time study participation level of 85% each quarter or your district's MAC funding could be jeopardized. In addition, all sampled moments MUST be completed within 7 calendar days in order to count towards the 85% requirement.
It is essential that the process is completed so that a MAC claim can be filed on behalf of each district on a timely basis. Please remind your staff the importance of completing their online Time Study as soon as they are notified.
