The answer to Q-4 is option C and answer to Q-5 is option D
1. To determine her eligibility for Medicaid coverage, Mary should start by looking for information in her state. This means that choice D, "the state in which she lives," is the correct answer. Mary can visit her state's official website or the state department of health services to get more information about Medicaid eligibility criteria and the application process.
2. If you're a physician who wants to join together with other HMO physicians but still maintain your individual practice, the best choice for you may be an independent practice association. So, choice C is the correct answer.
3. Before the inception of managed care, private insurance companies typically reimbursed providers on a retrospective, fee-for-service basis. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.
4. To review eligibility requirements for the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), your niece should first review the requirements in the state where she resides. So, choice C is the correct answer.
5. If you own a company in a state where state funds aren't mandated for employee health insurance, one option for providing your employees with health care coverage for work-related injuries is self-insurance coverage. This means that choice D is the correct answer. Self-insurance allows the company to bear the financial risk associated with providing coverage for work-related injuries.
