Answer to Question 1

ANS:
referral
If the PCP is unable to successfully treat the patient's condition, he or she makes a referral to a specialist. The patient cannot self-refer, and the specialist cannot accept the patient without a referral. In this way, access to more costly care and potentially redundant testing is controlled.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
