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.

Denny, you are correct that it is displayed up to the minute. Based on reading NN 17-13, my impression is that your verification status is set for an entire bid period based on your usage for the 12 previous bid periods. Your example with a second sick call on 21-24 sep would not require verification. Assuming there aren’t enough hours to fall out of your 12 bid period look back, you would be on the hook for verification in October though. Take a look at that notepad and let me know what you think.
Admittedly, I have never had to verify as I have fallen under the less than 50 exclusion since this was implemented. I’m sure at some point it will snag me though and I want to make sure my understanding is accurate.
