Correct Answer
C. Parent whose date of birth (month and day) falls earlier in the calendar year is the primary plan for dependent.

Explanation
The Birthday Rule states that the parent whose date of birth (month and day) falls earlier in the calendar year is the primary plan for the dependent. This means that if both parents have different birthdates, the parent whose birthday occurs earlier in the year will be considered the primary plan for the dependent. This rule helps determine which parent's insurance plan will be the primary one for covering the dependent's medical expenses.

Correct Answer
B. Monthly premiums, co-payments, deductibles and balance billing.

Explanation
Medicare Part B is a health insurance program in the United States that covers medical services such as doctor visits, outpatient care, and preventive services. Beneficiaries are responsible for paying certain costs, including monthly premiums, co-payments, deductibles, and balance billing. This means that they have to contribute a monthly payment towards their coverage, pay a portion of the cost of each medical service they receive, cover a certain amount of expenses out of pocket before Medicare starts paying, and potentially pay the difference between what the provider charges and what Medicare approves for payment.

Part A Beneficiaries are responsible for
- A.
  
  Monthly premiums, co-payments, deductibles and balance billing.
- B.
  
  Deductibles and co-pays
Correct Answer
B. Deductibles and co-pays

Explanation
Beneficiaries are responsible for deductibles and co-pays. Deductibles are the amount of money that beneficiaries must pay out of pocket before their insurance coverage begins. Co-pays, on the other hand, are fixed amounts that beneficiaries must pay for each healthcare service or prescription medication. These costs are separate from monthly premiums, which beneficiaries also have to pay. Therefore, beneficiaries are responsible for deductibles and co-pays in addition to monthly premiums, but not for balance billing, which refers to the amount that healthcare providers charge above what insurance covers.

Coverage for treatment obtained from a non-participating provider. Typically, it requires payment of a deductible and higher co-payments and co-insurance than for treatment from a participating provider. Insurer may also deny entire bill.

  Out of Pocket Costs (OOPs)
- B.
  
  Out of Network (OON)
- C.
  
  Pre-Admission Certification (PAC)
Correct Answer
B. Out of Network (OON)

Explanation
Out of Network (OON) refers to coverage for treatment obtained from a non-participating provider. This means that the healthcare provider is not contracted with the insurer, resulting in higher out of pocket costs for the insured individual. OON coverage typically requires payment of a deductible and higher co-payments and co-insurance compared to treatment from a participating provider. Additionally, the insurer may choose to deny the entire bill for services received from an out of network provider.
