Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Medicare is available to anyone on dialysis regardless of age. Blue Cross and HMO are both pri-vate insurance options. Medicaid provides financial assistance to states and counties to pay for medical services for the aged poor, the blind, the disabled, and families with dependent children who are below state poverty income levels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Medicare Part B is a supplemental (voluntary) program; it provides coverage for services that are not covered by Part A, such as laboratory services, ambulance transportation, prostheses, equip-ment, and some supplies. Part A provides coverage for hospital care, home care, and skilled nursing care. Part C is an option that can be chosen for additional coverage. Part C includes ser-vices of both Parts A and B. The Part C plans are coordinated care plans that include HMOs, private fee-for-service plans, and medical savings accounts (MSAs). Part C provides for all health care coverage costs after a high deductible. Part D provides prescription coverage.
