FTE Allocation Process

Current MROQC FTE Funding Model (subject to change annually)

Participating MROQC facilities receive an annual Participation Payment for full-time equivalent (FTE) funding based on their case volume through the generous support of BCBSM-BCN. This payment is intended to cover a portion of data abstraction costs for entering not only BCBSM cases but also those cases who are insured by other payers-including those who are government insured or even uninsured as well (projected to be approximately 84% of total cases).

​

The current MROQC FTE model is based on a facility case volume of 191 patients

FTE=number of cases at a given facility/191

Participation Payments are sent out to our member facility in July (via hospital contracting or payments to free-standing facilities).

 

A single FTE should be expected to effectively manage 191 eligible cases, and the facility should staff the MROQC project accordingly with a Clinical Data Abstractor (CDA) to coordinate capture of clinical data and patient reported outcomes,  AND a physicist or dosimetrist to report technical details of treatment planning and delivery.

Support for MROQC is provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network as part of the BCBSM Value Partnerships program.
