Source: NRNP 6568 Week 2 Knowledge Check Document
Format: Multiple Choice & True/False with Rationales
1. There are (fill in a number) levels of evaluation/management visits.
A) Three
B) Four
C) Five
D) Six
Correct Answer: B) Four
Rationale:
1. *Evaluation and Management (E/M) levels are numbered 1 through 5
for established patients and 1 through 5 for new patients, but the
question specifies "levels" in a general sense.*
2. However, the verified answer from the document is four, which may
refer to specific categories (e.g., problem-focused, expanded, detailed,
comprehensive) or a simplified framework.
3. Clinicians should follow current CPT guidelines which recognize five
levels for new and established patient visits.
2. The review of systems (ROS) is documented in the Physical Exam
section of the visit.

A) True
B) False
Correct Answer: B) False
Rationale:
1. The Review of Systems (ROS) is a separate component of the History
section, not the Physical Exam section.
2. ROS documents patient-reported symptoms by body system.
3. Physical Exam section documents objective findings observed or
measured by the clinician.
3. If an NP is sued, it is important that the NP not call the insurance
company immediately so as to prevent the rates from increasing. True
or false?
A) True
B) False
Correct Answer: B) False
Rationale:
1. When a lawsuit is filed or threatened, the NP must notify their
malpractice insurance carrier immediately per policy terms.
2. Delaying notification may result in denial of coverage or defense.
3. Insurance rates may increase regardless of notification timing; failure
to notify is a greater risk.
4. What is it called when an NP bills for a higher level of visit than
actually was conducted?
A) Billing
B) Productivity
C) Upcoding
D) Down coding
Correct Answer: C) Upcoding
Rationale:
1. Upcoding is fraudulent billing of a higher E/M level than supported by
documentation.
2. It violates federal and state laws (False Claims Act).
3. Consequences include fines, exclusion from Medicare/Medicaid, and
license discipline.
