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 181 patients

FTE=number of cases at a given facility/181

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 181 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.
