Who performs a quality review before CMA review?

• A. 4A or 4N
• B. Unit Commander
• C. Medical officer
• D. The member

Answer: (A)

Quality review before CMA review is handled by the 4A or 4N because their role is to perform quality assurance on medical records and related documents. They systematically check for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with applicable rules and standards, making sure the information is ready for the CMA reviewer. This separation ensures the CMA review starts from a well-prepared package and reduces the chance of missing data or errors.

Other roles aren’t assigned that formal QA duty. The unit commander oversees overall operations and leadership, not the detailed QA of medical documentation. A medical officer focuses on clinical content and medical judgment rather than the administrative quality of the records. The member reviewing their own information would introduce bias and isn’t the objective QA step used before CMA review.
