NEW QUESTION # 123
Which of the following is the MOST compliant provider query?
Answer: D
Explanation:
The most compliant query is the one that is clinically supported, non-leading, and focused on clarifying documentation for correct reporting and medical necessity-without directing the provider to "add" diagnoses or document conditions for payment purposes. Option A presents relevant clinical context (no GI symptoms; family history) and asks the provider to clarify whether the planned colonoscopy is screening or diagnostic, which is a legitimate documentation clarification affecting correct code selection and coverage rules. It does not imply a desired answer and does not instruct the provider to document additional diagnoses. Option B is problematic because it instructs the provider to "document these conditions" if treated, which can be perceived as prompting and is not tied to encounter-specific indicators. Option C is based primarily on historical information and asks a yes/no about remission, which can be leading and may not reflect current-visit evaluation. Option D effectively asks the provider to add a diagnosis based on nursing documentation, which risks leading language and requires provider confirmation and assessment. Therefore, A is most compliant.
NEW QUESTION # 124
A 75-year-old with a PMH of chronic foot ulcer, CKD, and depression is seen by his PCP for continued fatigue and decreased urination. Labs drawn on previous day are reviewed. Patient describes extreme fatigue and no motivation. Assessment and plan include: "CKD 3 with renal failure - refer to nephrologist. Chronic nonpressure foot ulcer - home care for wound assessment. Depression - Rx for SSRI." Which of the following are the validated diagnoses that risk adjust and qualify as CMS-HCCs?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Under CMS-HCC methodology, risk adjustment is driven by ICD-10-CM diagnoses that map to HCC categories and are supported as active conditions addressed at the encounter. CKD stage 3 is a classic HCC-qualifying chronic condition because it represents ongoing kidney disease severity and expected resource use, and in this note it is actively assessed with labs reviewed and a nephrology referral. A chronic non-pressure foot ulcer is also typically HCC-qualifying when documented as ongoing and requiring management, which is supported here by home care/wound assessment planning. In contrast, "depression" (without specification such as major depressive disorder severity/status) commonly does not qualify for HCC in the way major depressive/bipolar categories do, making it less reliable as a risk-adjusting diagnosis. Likewise, "renal failure" is nonspecific and potentially conflicting with CKD stage 3; CDI best practice would be to clarify acuity/severity (acute kidney injury vs CKD stage vs ESRD) rather than assume "renal failure" as an HCC driver. Therefore, the validated HCC-qualifying pair is CKD 3 and chronic non-pressure ulcer.
NEW QUESTION # 125
Which of the following lab values, when trended for greater than 3 months, indicates an objective measure of chronic kidney damage?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by evidence of kidney damage or reduced kidney function that persists for at least three months. An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR/GFR) below 60 mL/min sustained over that timeframe is an objective indicator of chronically decreased renal function and supports CKD identification and staging in the outpatient record. This is why outpatient CDI programs frequently use trended eGFR as a clinical indicator to prompt documentation of CKD stage (e.g., stage 3a/3b, stage 4, etc.) when appropriate. BNP >1000 is more aligned with heart failure severity/volume status rather than kidney damage. BUN <12 is within/near normal and does not indicate renal impairment (elevated BUN may be seen with renal dysfunction but is less specific and affected by hydration, diet, GI bleed). Glucose >100 is a screening indicator for impaired fasting glucose/prediabetes but does not, by itself, establish chronic kidney damage. Therefore, sustained GFR <60 is the best objective lab-based measure of chronic kidney damage over time.
NEW QUESTION # 126
An ACO with 50,000 beneficiaries just completed its first year of a 3-year contract where the final scores were quality 90%; expected costs were $50 million, and actual costs were $52 million. The shared savings rate determined by CMS was 50%. Which of the following is MOST accurate and applies for the ACO?
Answer: B
Explanation:
In MSSP-style ACO financial reconciliation, performance is evaluated against a benchmark (expected costs). Here, the ACO's actual spending ($52M) exceeds the expected benchmark ($50M) by $2M, meaning the ACO generated shared losses rather than savings. In risk-bearing ACO arrangements, when costs exceed the benchmark and the ACO is in a track that includes downside risk, the organization may owe CMS a portion of those losses. The shared savings/loss rate (50% in this scenario) represents the percentage of the difference from the benchmark that the ACO shares with CMS, assuming applicable thresholds are met. Thus, instead of receiving a shared savings payment, the ACO would be accountable to pay back a share of the excess spending (conceptually 50% of the $2M overage, if all model requirements are satisfied). Option D is not correct because reconciliation is typically performed on a performance-year basis rather than only at the end of the full agreement period, and option C is not how MSSP eligibility works.
NEW QUESTION # 127
Which of the following section(s) of the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting are applicable to outpatient settings?
Answer: D
Explanation:
In outpatient CDI and coding, the Official ICD-10-CM Guidelines that apply are the universal rules plus the outpatient-specific rules. Section I contains conventions, general coding guidelines, and chapter-specific guidance that govern code assignment in every setting (e.g., code structure, "use additional code," laterality, sequencing instructions, and condition-specific rules). Section IV is specifically written for outpatient services and drives core outpatient behaviors such as selecting the "first-listed" diagnosis based on the main reason for the encounter, reporting additional diagnoses that are evaluated/assessed/treated or impact care, and applying outpatient-only restrictions (for example, diagnoses documented as "rule out," "probable," or "suspected" generally are not coded in outpatient the way they may be for inpatient reporting). ACDIS outpatient CDI education emphasizes teaching providers to document clearly the reason for visit, the assessment/clinical relevance of each condition addressed, and the linkage between conditions and services rendered so Section I and Section IV rules can be applied accurately for compliant reimbursement and reporting.
