Time Tracking

PCPCM Time Tracking

If there are providers in your clinic who will be using the PCPCM fee model, your Healthquest must be updated to version 4.4.68 or higher to have the required items available. Please contact support if you have an older version of Healthquest. The specific details on how to track time are available on the Alberta Medical Association's website. Please click here to access those resources. 

Non-patient specific ULI

Alberta Health has created a non-specific ULI to be used when billing for time with the PCPCM billing model. The client card can be found under 'Patient, Non-Specific'. To assist with the change in workflow associated with tracking time, we suggest booking this client card on the schedule at the beginning of the day as a reminder to track your time.

Charting Template

Healthquest has a charting template available that can be used to track the physicians time. It can be added into your Healthquest by contacting support. If you use it to record time, your number of calls will be automatically calculated. You will still need to manually remove the calls spent on breaks or out-of-basket services as these are not considered as billable time. We do understand that physician's time (especially non-direct care) is not always completed in specific time windows, this template can be used as a guide and is optional.
