We have the Medical assistants complete the MOCA – Works very closely with the Clinician . As an FQHC I thought we didn't have to pay - but we had to -

Good morning,
Our organization is currently looking at MoCA's and who can carry out the test. The website | MoCA Test (mocacognition.com) states that anyone that uses it must be certified by them initially and then annually. We are trying to get the training for free due to being a public entity. Reach out to me via email or phone if you have more questions. I would love to discuss.

Our ambulatory RN's in primary care are certified to carry out the MoCA. There are a couple of clinics that allow Medical Assistants to do it, provided the PCP is certified. The nurses feel that they are the best person to perform these assessments and gain a lot out of it. Recognizing that we continue to work on skill task alignment who do you have complete the MoCA?
