Will entering a 'M' (Medical) status in a PALMS for a member cause a change in the number of required contributions?

For example, let's consider a month of 4 weeks. A member has to attend one 1-2-1 a week. So, in this example, he has four 1-2-1 to attend.

Set a 'M' status for that member in a week will make the required number of 1-2-1's change from 4 to 3 in that month?

The idea of my question is to know if a member that is sick (although he will not have a absence because the 'M' status) is numerically obligated to have all others contributions in the month's average ou we can ignore the sick-week in the month's average. 

Thanks in advance.

  @reinaldo - yes - the number of weeks is reduced.  The average is not a number of weeks in the period, but rather taken for each individual member by taking P+A+L+S (omitting M) and then dividing the other metric into that number to produce the per week average.

  Note that holiday meetings have the same effect.

  Hope this helps!
