RAC is a reassessment of what 2 measures

What is CAU Core and CPU Core

100

When abstracting what are the first two things you should verify in the chart?

What is the Member's Name and DOB

200

This is where we can post general questions

What is the MY 2024 LTSS Team channel

200

This is the number of IADL's that need to be assessed

What is Case Manager Information

200

How many failed attempts to contact the member has to be documented to have a valid exclusion

What is 3

200

When abstracting, this is what you change the status to in QMRM 

What is Completed

This is where you locate the official measure Technical Specifications

What is the Education and Training Resource center

300

When there is documentation that states the member is retired, what element does that meet 

What is CAU Supplemental 18

When looking at CPU 5, Services and Supports a member receives or is expected to receive in the next month, what else needs to be documented along with the number (e.g., hours, days)

What is Frequency

300

400

For CPU 9, this also needs to be documented along with the member and case managers signature if it is not a verbal agreement

What is the Date

400

True or False: While abstracting/Overreading an RAC assessment, "No Change" is acceptable to be abstracted.

False. The documentation of "No Change" is not acceptable for abstraction and can not be used.

400

True or false: When abstracting multiple DOS you should enter a new line for each DOS?

True, When entering more than 1 DOS, you must add a new DOS line in QMRM

500

What are the names of the 2 tools that we utilize for abstraction

What are rateLIFT and QMRM

500

CAU 4,5 and CAU Supplemental 11 must be done on one of these

What is a tool

500

This is needed for CPU 4 when a Tool was used to assess the members cognition (CAU 4) and the member does NOT have a cognitive impairment

What is NOTHING. Reference the page that the tool is documented on. No Impairment, No Plan

500

True or False: For SCP, the entire care plan must be transmitted for it to be valid
