✍️ Sample CCP Questions & Answers

1. Which quality assurance method is most commonly applied in hedis & star rating measures to verify that CCP professional standards are being met?
Structured audits, peer reviews, and performance metrics aligned with industry benchmarks

Structured audits, peer reviews, and performance metrics aligned with industry benchmarks are the most effective quality assurance methods in hedis & star rating measures, providing objective, measurable evidence that CCP standards are consistently met.

2. A patient with advanced COPD has decision-making capacity and requests aggressive life-sustaining treatment that the care team believes is medically futile. Ethically, the care team should:
Engage in shared decision-making, explaining clinical realities while respecting patient values

Shared decision-making balances professional obligation with patient autonomy and is the preferred approach in disputes over medically futile treatment.

3. Which of the following RPM devices measures a physiologic parameter relevant to COPD management?
Pulse oximeter

Pulse oximeters measure oxygen saturation (SpO2), a key physiologic parameter for monitoring COPD severity and detecting early exacerbations remotely.

4. Which chronic disease comorbidity is associated with the highest prevalence of comorbid depression, making PHQ-9 screening especially critical?
Diabetes mellitus

Depression affects approximately 15–25% of people with diabetes, nearly double the general population rate, creating bidirectional adverse effects on outcomes.

5. Which of the following is a 'red flag' symptom that a CCP should instruct a patient with CHF to monitor daily after hospital discharge?
Weight gain of more than 2–3 pounds in a single day or 5 pounds in a week

Rapid weight gain indicates fluid retention in CHF patients and is an early warning sign of decompensation that requires immediate clinical evaluation.

6. Under complex CCM (99487), the minimum required time of clinical staff CCM services per calendar month is:
60 minutes

CPT 99487 requires at least 60 minutes of clinical staff time per calendar month for complex CCM patients requiring moderate or high decision-making.
