Changes to the Q4 timeliness award
Did anyone else notice that (per the email today) you can now only get the timeliness award for Q4 if you do 85 hours worth of actions off the New or Special New tab?
Without getting into the debate of if anyone should be trying to get this award at all…that’s a high bar to clear for those of us in a high restriction area who get most production off the amended tab. I know the DM award had a production requirement too but I don’t believe it was from the New cases exclusively. I guess it’s a sneaky way to get us to move all the RCEs that are sitting around thanks to the policy changes.
Not exactly feeling highly incentivized to go after this one.
