• Scenario #1 : If a traveler is placed on call / standby for the first 4 hours and gets called in before the 4 hours are up they receive CB pay up until the 4hour mark (b / c that is the only time they were told they are on call / standby). The remaining 8 hours are paid & billable at regular pay. CB is part of the original 4 hours they are placed on call / standby and not past that time. If on call / standby is extended past the 4hour mark then CB is extended as well and REG time would be adjusted. If on call / standby is extended the rest for the shift and they are called in it is coded with the CB code. Anytime they are placed on call for a portion of their shift it counts as a cancellation regardless of getting called in. HOWEVER if they are on call / standby and come in shortly after the unit may elect to pay (using 816 billable cancellation code) and save the cancel for a full 12 hour shift later on. If they work an extra day in the week it may not count as a cancel if they have their 3 shifts already.
• Scenario #2 : If a traveler is told they are being low censused / HCd for the first 4 hours the clinician is told to report at the end of the 4 hours (which is the new start time of their shift) unless notified otherwise. They will only receive notification if the HC (cancellation) is being extended and that notification is typically around 90 min before the new start time. If they do report after 4 hours of HCd the time is paid at REG hours since on call / standby was not mentioned
• Scenario #3 : If on call / standby only for first 4 hours of shift with no CB then reports for remaining 8 hours this time will be coded as REG rate. Anytime there are on call / standby hours in combination with REG hours or CB this is a cancellation if they have not worked their hours A full 12hour shift is a cancellation and paid / billable at the on call / standby rate until they hit max cancellation and then its billable at the REG rate. Once they hit max cancels for the contract and are put on call / standby or HCd (cancelled) for a shift that makes them short a day the shift will be coded as the 816 billable cancellation code
