Where were there consistent findings attributable to a specific CPT/HCPCS code, or a particular provider, would you report these findings in which format?

• A. Standard of review
• B. Summary
• C. Issue oriented findings
• D. Recommendations

Answer: (C)

When you find consistent results tied to a specific CPT/HCPCS code or to a particular provider, present them as issue oriented findings. This format organizes the report around the actual problems observed, linking each issue to the exact code or provider, showing how often it occurred, and the potential impact on reimbursement and compliance. It makes patterns easy to identify and directly actionable—so remediation can target the specific code misuse or provider practice. A standard of review is about how you evaluate evidence, not how you present it. A plain summary can mask patterns by lumping everything together, and while recommendations appear in reports, the primary way to convey the findings themselves is by organizing them as issues.
