The CMR requires drug-problem prioritization for all the following reasons EXCEPT:
++
++
++
a. patients may have limited minutes available on their phones
++
++
b. more drug-related problems exist than can be discussed during interview time
++
++
c. Star Measures include time and result performance criteria
++
++
d. MTM payer performance measures may not cover all of the patient's drug-related problems
++
++
e. payment is based on limited minutes
++
++
++
Which of the following is true about doing a call center based pre-CMR (using Rx claims data only) for a first-time PDP patient who is unknown to you?
++
++
++
a. PDP CMS STAR performance measures do not apply to patients you don't know
++
++
b. Pre-CMR evaluation is unnecessary due to complete prescription claims data
++
++
c. Lack of a medical record makes a Pre-CMR a waste of time
++
++
d. PDC values may tell you something about adherence
++
++
e. The pre-CMR requires a call to the primary care physician for permission to interview the patient
++
++
++
In order to complete a face-to-face CMR, you need to know the following about each patient:
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
Patient A has an indication that does not have a corresponding drug in the PDP's prescription claims. This could be due to all of the following EXCEPT:
++
++
++
a. indication inferred from current drugs and could be wrong
++
++
b. unfilled prescriptions
++
++
c. prescriptions filled but not picked up and not credited yet
++
++
++
++
e. medication not covered by Part D
++
++
++
Doing a CMR, using only Rx PDP claims data, would require asking the patient about all of the following EXCEPT:
++
++
++
a. cash-only prescriptions
++
++
b. Internet obtained prescriptions
++
