Answer to Question 1

With a patient undergoing a noncovered elective procedure, the medical office manager must discuss with the patient the payment of the full amount. With a covered procedure, the conversation will be about the patient's financial portion of the bill and any necessary insurance forms or paperwork, including referrals or preauthorizations that may needed.

Answer to Question 2

C

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
