What qualifications must a physician have to be considered a qualified 1st Look provider?

• A. Medicaid provider who has passed the Medicaid approved training, scored 75% on post-test, and must be trained before other staff
• B. Must hold a medical degree and be board-certified
• C. Only dental professionals can participate
• D. Must have pediatric specialty

Answer: (A)

This item focuses on the specific credentialing path for becoming a qualified 1st Look provider. The best option shows that eligibility hinges on being a Medicaid provider who completes the Medicaid-approved training and passes the post-training test (scoring at least 75%), with the training completed before training other staff. This ensures standardized screening practices and proper integration into the clinical workflow. The other options describe broader or different qualifications (medical degree with board certification, only dental professionals, or a pediatric specialty) that aren’t required by this program.
