If you entered a bid period with 99:59 for a look back, you would have no verification requirement for the entirety of that bid period, even if you called in sick multiple times. If you begin a bid period with a look back of 100:00 to 159:59 then you are QHCP and if you begin a bid period with a look back of 160:00 or greater you will require a Doctor’s note. If you use less than 50:00 in two consecutive sick leave years (June 1 - May 31) then you have no verification requirement for the entire new sick leave year no matter how much you use.
I believe you are wrong. If you enter a bid period, say this month, having used 99.59 hours you do not have to verify your next sick call. You call in sick for a 21 hour trip 3-6 sep and call in we’ll on the 7th. You are now over the 100 hr threshold. If you call in sick 21-24 sep,you will have to verify that trip by a QHCP to get paid for that trip. That’s my understanding. And yes they do keep track to the minute.
