School Based Claiming Random Moment Time Survey

As of July 1, 2020, the Department of Health Care Services will use the Random Moment Time Survey (RMTS) methodology for both California School-Based Medi-Cal Programs: the Local Educational Agency Medi-Cal Billing Option Program (LEA BOP) and the School-Based Medi-Cal Administrative Activities program (SMAA). The RMTS is a federally approved, web-based, and accepted statistical sampling method that will be used to capture the amount of time spent providing both administrative activities and direct services to Medi-Cal enrolled students.

This webpage contains information and resources to assist LEAs with the administration of RMTS for both school-based programs. For specific program information relating to either the LEA BOP or SMAA Program, please visit their respective websites listed at the top of the page.
