Sounds like a loophole to me, not sure if that's a good idea.

I believe both statements could be true, but I’m leaning towards option A since it seems to align with what we discussed in class.

I'm a bit confused about the first statement. I thought there were limits to what can be delegated under NCQA standards.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this where the delegate's accreditation affected oversight standards. Maybe that's option 2?

I think I remember that NCQA does allow some delegation, but I'm not entirely sure if it includes all medical management functions.

Hah, I bet the NCQA is just trying to make their job easier by letting health plans delegate everything. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to actually, you know, do the work.

Ooh, the accreditation standards get reduced if the delegate is already certified by the delegator's agency? That's an interesting loophole. I wonder if it's really that simple, though.

Wait, the NCQA allows health plans to delegate all medical management functions? That seems like a lot of responsibility to hand off. I'd want to double-check that before answering.
