Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) established policies and procedures that protect confidentiality. The other options are not valid names.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

In the fee-for-service method, patients pay the practitioner for each health service they receive. Physicians are not fiscally responsible for whatever they prescribe or for any resulting hospital costs. Ideally, patients choose the service they need and pay for this service. Depending on the insurance purchased or obtained, the patient may have a healthcare card that is presented as identifying information for healthcare services. Under capitation, health care providers are paid a fixed dollar amount per person for providing an agreed upon set of health services. Government health plans may waive charges to the patient but are not identified as fee-for-service payments.
