Non-Labour Provider Travel Cost Billing Strategy

EYC's iinsight system was configured only for travel time (labour costs), leaving non-labour travel costs — kilometres at $1.00/km, parking, and tolls — completely unclaimed. Four specific non-labour travel codes exist (two for Cat 07, two for Cat 01 Core bypass), none of which were in the system. Strategically, billing non-labour costs to the Category 01 Core bypass codes (01_799_xxxx) preserves Category 07 Capacity Building funds for actual coordination hours — a particularly important tactic when a digital lock has been applied to Category 07.

EYC's iinsight configuration only allowed billing for the time spent travelling (labour costs, billed under the standard SC codes with claim type TRAN). The system had no provision for "Provider Travel — non-labour costs": the actual kilometres driven, parking fees, and tolls. These costs are NDIA-allowable but were entirely absent from the billing architecture, resulting in EYC leaving legitimate revenue unclaimed.

All four use claim type TRAN. Rate: $1.00 per unit (km, or exact cost for parking/tolls).

The NDIA intentionally created cross-category travel codes (the 01_799 series) to allow Capacity Building providers to draw travel expenses from the participant's Core budget instead of their Capacity Building allocation.

The key use case: If a participant's Category 07 has been digitally locked (all funds stated to a specific item), a 07_799 travel claim will be rejected because there are no flexible funds in that bucket. The 01_799 bypass code draws from Core instead — bypassing the lock entirely.

Even when Category 07 is not locked, claiming non-labour travel from Core is strategically sound: every dollar of travel cost drawn from Category 01 leaves a dollar more in the limited Category 07 Capacity Building envelope for actual coordination and coaching hours.

High for core strategy and Level 2/PRC codes — verified across RS-06 T5 and RS-09 T6 as well. Provisional for Level 3 SC non-labour codes (07_799_0132_8_3, 01_799_0132_1_1) — these are new to the wiki and require E-M7 verification against the Price Codes Master.
