2 Direct Patient CareTime rendering care to patients in your clinic/service Primarily face to face time Can include time spent doing documentation and coordination of care as part of the visits Supported by E&M code so roughly matches RVU s Coded under clinic specific code ( ) Exceptions: MEB s, TDRL s: FEDC_0125 Support to other MTF: FCDA_0125 Indirect Patient CareAdditional time spent rendering patient care that is not face to face Extra time spent due to reduced efficiency ( AHLTA is down) System problems that slow you down T cons Additional time spent doing documentation Coded under clinic specific code ( )Other Patient CarePatient care related work that does not generate RVU sMay use indirect care code, but keep in Indirect patient care code hours count towards your available FTE and May adversely impact clinic efficiency if overused Consider using non clinical admin code for your service for some non direct patient care work where there are no RVU s generated Most important Be consistent in your service how you use indirect code versus other codesMeetings Your clinic/service: Service specific ( ) Department.

3 Dept specific ( ) Hospital Committees (EBOD, RM, P&T) CME: JCAHO: EBBJ_0125 Meetings not otherwise defined use department non clinical admin codeGME Ward Attending give all patient care hours to GME unless generating RVU s for your service Clinic Attending Patients booked under you that you saw with the resident: Split time between patient care and GME Patients booked under resident: Give all hours to GME Lectures/conferences Mentor sessionsTraining Hospital (CBRNE, BMAR, HIPPA, etc): FALB_0125 Military: Physical Fitness Training: GFAA_0125 MASCAL Exercise: Annual leave: Sick leave: Comp time taken: LWOP: Leave Regular: Leave Sick: Training Holiday: TDY for meetings code based on meeting purpose Backfill: FCDA_0125 Deployment: out your DMRSi For DMRSi purpose you only need to record 8 hours per day or 80 hours per pay period of codes.

4 There is no need to code extra time being on call or doing non patient care work, staffing residents, etc beyond the 8 hours per day. Exception is civilian staff being paid for extra hours since DMRSi must match time card Keep your template simple. Fill out direct patient care hours first and then add in the rest the best you can.
