Certified Physician Provider Recruitment Professional (CPRP)

Question 1

A hospital is recruiting a physician who currently practices in another state. The physician holds a medical license and a DEA registration in their current state. To legally prescribe controlled substances at the new hospital, what must the physician do regarding their DEA registration?

Transfer their existing DEA registration to the new practice address. Use their current DEA registration, as it is a federal credential valid in any state. Obtain a new, separate DEA registration for the state in which the new hospital is located. Apply for a temporary waiver from the DEA to prescribe while the new state license is pending.

Correct Answer:

Obtain a new, separate DEA registration for the state in which the new hospital is located.

A 20-day precautionary suspension of privileges pending a peer review investigation. A letter of counseling issued to the physician regarding their charting habits. A professional review action that restricts the physician's privileges for more than 30 days. The physician voluntarily resigns from the medical staff for personal reasons unrelated to any investigation.

Correct Answer:

A professional review action that restricts the physician's privileges for more than 30 days.

Question 3

What was the primary purpose for the enactment of the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (HCQIA)?

To establish national standards for physician compensation and fair market value. To provide legal immunity for good-faith peer review activities and establish the National Practitioner Data Bank.

Question 5

Which of the following is a key distinction between the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) and the Stark Law?

Violations of the Stark Law carry criminal penalties, while AKS violations are purely civil. The AKS pertains only to designated health services (DHS), while the Stark Law covers any service paid for by federal programs.
