∎ DoD 6010.13M (April 7, 2008; Change 2 April 15, 2014). Authority DoDD 6000.12E, “Health Services Operations
and Readiness” A uniform expense and labor reporting system shall be maintained in all fixed
MTFs and dental treatment facilities to provide standardized expense and
manpower data for management of health care resources.Standards for the Federal government Statement of
Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) 4 MEPRS supports MTFs and all entities within the MHS in approximating and
reporting full cost of resources used to produce output by responsibility segments/functional cost centers. The full cost data derived from MEPRS may be used by the department in developing actuarial liability estimates for the Military Retirement Health Benefits Liability in the Other Defense Organization General Funds. This information is included in the department’s annual agency wide audited financial statements.”
∎ Purpose: Provide uniform reporting by Functional Cost Code (FCC) of expense, labor, & workload for DoD Military Treatment Facility (MTF) affording management a basic framework for cost and work center accounting.
∎ MEPRS refers to the expense, labor, and workload data.
∎ Expense Assignment System (EAS) is the Web-based hardware and software in which the data is created and the information resides.

Introduction

Note: The DHA National Capital Region Medical Directorate (NCR-MD) currently uses GFEBS for Fort Belvoir and STARS/FL for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center
Functional Cost Codes (FCCs) are 4-character MTF-specific codes representing work centers or reporting facilities; used to track costs, workload and FTEs. The first 3 letters are DoD-standard.
The fourth letter is MTF-unique and used to identify specific types of costs and workload:
B = AMBULATORY CARE (DoD standard)BH = PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE (DoD standard)
BHA = OUTPT PRIMARY CARE CLINICS (DoD standard)
BHAA = Outpt Primary Care Clinic – Parent Facility (MTF
specific) BHAM = Outpt Primary Care Clinic - TMC-
1 (MTF specific) BHAW = Outpt Primary Care Clinic - TMC-
5 (MTF specific)
Note: use of 4th Level MEPRS FCC for Patient Centered Medical Home

Account Structure

∎ Cost pools are identified with an “X” in the 3rd FCC position. They are used when time and expense cannot be specifically assigned because two or more work centers share space, personnel or supplies. For example, most inpatient wards.
∎ Expenses and FTEs in cost pools are reassigned (purified) on the basis of workload.

Personnel
Full Time Equivalent (FTE)Amount of labor available to the MTF work center if a person works fulltime for 1 month.
Assigned FTEsTime reported by personnel assigned to specific positions/work centers on MTF manning documents.1 FTE = number of assigned days / the number of days in a month
Available FTEsTime reported by any personnel in a given clinic for a given month. Includes those who are Assigned, attached, borrowed, contracted, volunteers, etc.1 FTE = 168 man-hours in 1 month(1FTE is calculated as an average of 21 work days per month x 8 hours per day)
Non-Available FTEsTime reported by Assigned personnel in their Assigned work center that is unrelated to the healthcare mission such as sick leave, personal leave, etc.

Workload
The main function of workload data in EAS is to provide a basis to allocate expenses among work centers; therefore, workload is collected in relationship to costing. Historically, MEPRS workload in EAS with its limited focus has been used for analysis, but today the MHS Data Mart (M2) is the official source of workload data because it serves an analysis mission.

∎ DoD 6010. 13-M, dated 7 April 2008, Change 2, April 15, 2014: Provides Tri-Service MEPRS program policy and guidance to all MEPRS
reporting (fixed) MTFs/DTFs. Administrative Change published which alters only non-substantive
portions of the issuance due to the establishment of the Defense Health Agency (DHA).
Researching more timely method of update to link to annual update of EAS IV System Tables.
MEPRS Management Improvement Group (MMIG)The MMIG was established in 1999 to provide functional and
automated information system oversight for MEPRS, EAS, and the source systems. Current charter is dated 14 Dec 2009 and is currently under revision. It is an entity with a mission of uniformity, data integration, standardization, and compliance that operates under he auspices of the Resource Management Steering Committee.

∎ EASIV System Updates:EAS IV includes Service-unique and DoD/DHA tables that
contain multiple data elements which must be maintained and which must be in compliance with all current policy, regulations, etc.
The Table Update process in EAS IV also includes mapping the Service-unique data elements to a corresponding DoD/DHA data elements for consistent MHS MEPRS reporting.
Some of the EAS IV tables can be updated monthly, but all Service and DHA tables must be updated at least once a year. This monthly and annual process is referred to as the EAS IV Table Update Process.
