Protocols
Clinical Team (Chief TS’s, ACT Chairs, Dr. Meah) identify need for a procedure and determine its eligibility using criteria, judgement, and a list of costs associated with procedures developed for each department
If the procedure is deemed to be eligible for funding ACT helps the patient schedule the procedure and the clinical team makes the patient aware of the amount of the costs that the fund will cover
Receipts will be submitted to MedEd for expenditure from the EHHOP account
Each time this fund is engaged the Chief TS/ Dr. Meah will be responsible for completing the reimbursement google form (not for the purposes of reimbursement but for tracking)
