Answer to Question 1

D
Within an exclusive provider organization, the plan pays no benefit if the member is treated outside of the network. These types of organizations are usually regulated by state insurance laws.

Answer to Question 2

A
Managed care is a system of providing and monitoring care in which access, cost, and quality are controlled before or during the delivery of services. The goal of managed care is the delivery of services in the most cost-efficient manner possible. Managed care seeks to control costs by monitoring the delivery of services and restricting access to expensive procedures and providers.
