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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
