Pros and Cons at a Glance

Sample RMA Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free RMA practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

1. A medical assistant answers the phone and a caller identifies himself as a physician at the local hospital asking for a patient's complete records to be faxed immediately for emergency care. What should the medical assistant do?

   • A. Fax the records immediately since it is an emergency involving patient care
   • B. Verify the request through a callback to the hospital's main number and confirm the receiving fax number is secure before transmitting
   • C. Decline to fax any records without written authorization from the patient
   • D. Transfer the call to the physician immediately without further action

   Answer: B. Verify the request through a callback to the hospital's main number and confirm the receiving fax number is secure before transmitting

   Even in urgent situations, the identity of the requester and the security of the receiving fax must be verified through an independent callback — 'emergency' requests are a common social engineering technique for unauthorized PHI disclosure.

2. What is an important step in ensuring accurate documentation during patient assessment?

   • A. Documenting only the positive findings from the assessment
   • B. Documenting everything discussed during the assessment, including subjective and objective data
   • C. Writing down only the information that confirms the doctor’s diagnosis
   • D. Delegating documentation to the next shift

   Answer: B. Documenting everything discussed during the assessment, including subjective and objective data

   Ensuring accurate documentation during patient assessment requires recording everything discussed, including both subjective (patient's reported symptoms) and objective (measurable signs) data. Comprehensive and precise documentation creates a complete medical record, which is essential for continuity of care, legal protection, and effective communication among the healthcare team. Omitting information can lead to misdiagnosis or inadequate treatment.

3. An 'in-network' provider has what relationship with an insurance plan?

   • A. No contract with the plan
   • B. A contracted agreement to accept negotiated rates
   • C. Charges the patient full price
   • D. Only treats Medicare patients

   Answer: B. A contracted agreement to accept negotiated rates

   In-network providers contract with the plan to accept agreed-upon reimbursement rates.

4. When making up invoices for insurance companies, ICD numbers should be used. What does ICD mean?

   • A. International classification of diseases
   • B. Insurance company demands
   • C. Internal cash disbursement
   • D. Integral charge document

   Answer: A. International classification of diseases

   ICD stands for International Classification of Diseases, a globally recognized system developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). These codes are used by healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care. ICD codes are crucial for standardized medical billing, epidemiological tracking, and health management.
