Penalized as scored on imputed values only (footnote 18); excluding imputation leaves no measured Z-scores — a mechanics illustration, not a CMS prediction.
Describes scoring mechanics only. Not medical or legal advice. Any “would / would not” language is an illustration against the published threshold, not a CMS prediction.
