2. Create the travel time activity template by navigating to Admin > Programs > Activity Templates.
In the dropdown, select the new program (Ex: TRT), and then select Create a New Activity. Fill in
the Activity”, rate (35.88), Authorized Session, Include In Session Counts, CPT code (99199), and select a location, then click “Create Activity Template.”
Note: LA County has clarified that no progress note is required for travel time activities, so you can skip that.

navigating to Clients > Edit Client Data (Tabs) > Financial. Under the payer section, click “Edit”,
select the Non-MC funding source from the dropdown “Funding Source”, select the new
program (TRT) from the dropdown “Program Type”, enter in the start date, and click “Add
Funding Source.”

in the dropdown titled “Add New Activity for” change it to the new program “TRT”, select the
activity from the dropdown and complete the note. Make sure to match the date of service, place of service, and address to the primary service.
