Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The welfare of the person being treated depends on the accurate transference of information from one health care professional to another, and reimbursement is more and more dependent upon electronic data interchange or EDI. Great strides have been made in the technology which allows medical necessity proofs to be piggy-backed with claims, avoiding the need for holding up the processing of such claims.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Medicaid eligibility is income based. Recipients must meet criteria based on their medical needs, income and other resources, or lack thereof, to pay for those needs. Eligibility is regulated by each state based on criteria determined by each state. In some states, recipients pay co-payments on a sliding scale for some services.
