Answer to Question 1

Answer: F

Answer to Question 2

______Bill workers' compensation insurance
______Bill healthcare insurance
__X___Bill both for separate issues
Justification: The knee injury is most likely workers' compensation; those charges should go to workers' compensation. The fever may or may not be related to workers' compensation, so billing the healthcare insurance for the blood draw is best. If students say workers' compensation and justify that they should wait for workers' compensation to reject the charges related to the fever, this could also be correct.
