-
Monthly premium payments.
-
Co-pays.

Coinsurance.
-
Deductibles.
-
All of the above.
Correct Answer
A. All of the above.Explanation

Therefore, people who receive Medicare may be responsible for cost sharing, which includes various types of payments. This can include monthly premium payments, co-pays (a fixed amount paid for certain services), coinsurance (a percentage of the cost of services), and deductibles (a set amount that must be paid before Medicare coverage begins). Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" as all of these forms of cost sharing may be applicable for Medicare recipients.Rate this question:

If a recipient has Medicare and Medicaid, Medicare is the primary insurance.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
If a recipient has both Medicare and Medicaid, Medicare is considered the primary insurance. This means that Medicare will be the first insurance to pay for any medical services or treatments that the recipient receives. Medicaid, on the other hand, will act as the secondary insurance and will cover any remaining costs that Medicare does not cover. This is because Medicare is generally available to individuals who are 65 years or older, while Medicaid is a government program that provides healthcare coverage to low-income individuals and families. Therefore, Medicare takes precedence over Medicaid in terms of coverage.Rate this question:
