✍️ Sample CTP Questions & Answers

1. What is a key clinical benefit of RPM for patients with chronic conditions?
✓ Reducing hospital readmissions through early detection of deterioration

RPM enables early detection of worsening symptoms, allowing timely clinical interventions that reduce costly hospitalizations and preventable readmissions.

2. What is the primary purpose of the HCPCS code Q3014 in telehealth billing?
✓ To bill an originating site facility fee for hosting a patient.

HCPCS code Q3014 is used by an eligible originating site (the location where the patient is located) to bill a facility fee. This fee reimburses the originating site for the costs of hosting the patient and facilitating the telehealth connection with the distant site provider. It cannot be billed if the patient is at home.

3. A telehealth provider is seeing a patient for the first time via video. Which step is legally required before providing clinical services in most US states?
✓ Confirm the patient's physical location and obtain informed consent for telehealth

Confirming the patient's physical location establishes jurisdiction and informs licensure requirements, and informed consent must be obtained prior to telehealth care.

4. A telehealth organization is evaluating a new EHR vendor. Which security document should the organization request FIRST to assess the vendor's security posture?
✓ A SOC 2 Type II audit report

A SOC 2 Type II report provides an independent auditor's assessment of a vendor's security controls over a defined period of time.

5. A telehealth provider uses AI-generated diagnostic suggestions. Who bears primary legal and ethical responsibility for the final clinical decision?
✓ The licensed clinician who acts on the AI output

The licensed clinician retains full professional and legal responsibility for clinical decisions, even when AI tools inform those decisions.

6. A telehealth provider allows patients to send photos of wounds via SMS text message. What is the MAIN compliance concern with this practice?
✓ Standard SMS is not encrypted and does not meet HIPAA security requirements for ePHI

Standard SMS messages are transmitted without encryption and lack the access controls required to protect ePHI under HIPAA.

What Practice Test Geeks adds beyond an AI chat for CTP

An AI chatbot can quiz you, but it can't reproduce the exam conditions or keep your record. Here you get:

  • A timed, full-length CTP mock exam — 50 questions in 75 minutes with a 70% pass mark, modeled on the official exam's question count and time limit, followed by a score report broken down by exam domain.
  • A fixed CTP question bank: the same test every attempt, so your score is comparable from one try to the next instead of changing with every regenerated quiz.
  • Progress saved on your device: completed tests, scores and missed questions stay in My Progress, so you can retake only what you got wrong.
  • A printable CTP cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
  • CTP flashcards built from the same question bank.
  • Free CTP practice tests with the correct answer shown after each question.
