SHARS: Random Moment Time Study – Audiology Services Eligible for Time Study

Beginning October – December 2021, HHSC will begin tracking the 504 Audiology services in the time study, however at this time you will not be able to bill for the services.

To track Audiology Services provided by an RMTS Participant in the direct service categories; “Audiologist – Licensed” or the “Audiology Assistant”, a new drop-down option has been added.

Time Study Sampling

If your district includes positions on the RMTS PL under the Audiology categories it will allow those position(s) to qualify to be selected for a random time study sample.   If a position is selected to respond to a time study sampling, a new modification has been added to allow for an option to the “Who?” Question 1 drop-down (“504 Student”) and a subsequent addition of an option to the “What?” Question 3 drop-down (“To Provide 504 Audiology Services”) when the “504 Student” is selected in question1.

These new options should be used in the drop-downs for those participants who are in the direct service categories “Audiologist – Licensed” or “Audiology Assistant”.
