I am trying to find out, if a patient has been diagnosed with dementia, and the screening was performed by a Neurologist, can the Primary use that information for reporting, or does the screening have to be repeated? It doesn't make sense to put the patient through the screening twice, but if the Primary is working with the Neurologist, can they still report that the screening was performed? In addition, I would like to ask how we would handle a patient that has severe dementia, and is unable to be given a cognitive test or screening? That would be an exception, correct?
