CHET Billing Procedure

The CHET Billing Forms are due the first week of each month to Tiffany Rice (MC-5084) or the CHET Mailbox in the PICU reception area. 

CHET Billing Sheets can be downloaded here: CHET Billing Form.

When filling out the billing sheet, the following information would apply:

        The Transport Fee is paid for transports meeting any of the following criteria:
                Departure or arrival time between 1800 to 0800
                Any transport done on Saturday, Sunday, or Holiday
                Any transport done while “off service”
        You are paid for transport on Saturday, Sunday and Holidays no matter what time the transport 
        If actually called to transport during the week (the time criteria is from 1800 to 0800),
