MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The nurse is caring for a patient whose insurance coverage is Medicare. The nurse should consider which information when planning care for this patient?
Capitation provides the hospital with a means of recovering
a. variable charges.
The hospital will be paid for the full cost of the patient’s
b. hospitalization.
Diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) provide a fixed
c. reimbursement of cost.
Medicare will pay the national average for the patient’s
d. condition.
ANS: C
In 1983, Congress established the prospective payment system (PPS), which grouped inpatient hospital services for Medicare patients into diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), each
of which provides a fixed reimbursement amount based on assigned DRG, regardless of a patient’s length of stay or use of services. Capitation means that providers receive a fixed
amount per patient or enrollee of a health care plan. DRG reimbursement is based on case severity, rural/urban/regional costs, and teaching costs, not national averages.

2. A nurse is teaching the staff about managed care. Which information should the nurse include in the teaching session?
a. Managed care insures full coverage of health care costs.
b. Managed care only assumes the financial risk involved.
, c. Managed care allows providers to focus on illness care.
d. Managed care causes providers to focus on prevention.
ANS: D
Managed care describes health care systems in which the provider or the health care system receives a predetermined capitated (fixed amount) payment for each patient enrolled in
the program. Therefore, the focus of care shifts from individual illness care to prevention, early intervention, and outpatient care. The actual cost of care is the responsibility of the
provider. The managed care organization (provider) assumes financial risk, in addition to providing patient care.

a. consequences.
Primary care physician payments from Medicaid services can
b. equal Medicare.
Adult children up to age 26 are allowed coverage on the
c. parent’s plan.
d. Private insurance companies can deny coverage for any reason.
ANS: C
Adult children up to the age of 26, regardless of student status, are allowed to be covered under their parents’ health insurance plan. All individuals are required to have some form
of health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty through the tax code. Primary care physician payments for Medicaid services increased to equal Medicare payments. Implementation
of insurance regulations prevents private insurance companies from denying insurance coverage for any reason and from charging higher premiums based on health status and
gender.
