Revenue Cycle Management Specialist (RCMS) Practice Exam

What is the time frame for the Administrative Law Judge to issue a decision?

60 days 90 days 120 days 180 days

Correct Answer:

90 days

Explanation:

The main idea is the speed at which an Administrative Law Judge should finalize a ruling after a hearing. Ninety days is the standard target for issuing a decision once the hearing is complete. This timeframe helps ensure cases are resolved promptly and the process doesn’t stall backlog. In practice, the clock starts when the hearing ends and the record is ready for decision. If more time is truly needed due to complexity or extra evidence, extensions can be granted for good cause, but the default expectation remains ninety days. Shorter deadlines would risk incomplete review, while longer ones would unnecessarily delay resolution.
