Staffing and Workload Management

7.1.2.6.2 - Staffing and Workload Management (Rev. 599, Issued: 06-26-15, Effective: 12-07-15, Implementation: 12-07-15) The MACs shall list the number, job titles, and qualifications/credentials of all full-time- equivalent (FTE) employees. If resources allow, an MR Nurse may be shared with another functional area, such as claims processing, so long as only the percentage of the nurses time spent on MR activities is identified in the strategy and accounted for in the appropriate functional area. For example, if MR agrees to share 0.5 of an FTE with claims processing to assist with the pricing of Not Otherwise Coded claims, this 0.5 FTE shall be accounted for in claims processing and not in MR.
