NURS 6202 Final Exam Questions with 100% Verified
Correct Answers 2024/2025
Since its inception, Medicaid (also called Title 19 of the Social Security Act) was originally designed to
finance health care services for the indigent, and therefore it has been almost entirely a tax-payer
funded program. From the very beginning, Medicaid has been what we call a means-tested program.
What does that mean? - Correct Answer -Eligibility depends on financial resources

-Each state administers their own Medicaid program under

-Federal guidelines, and Medicaid is jointly financed by both state and Federal governments

-Federal government provides matching funds to each of the states based upon that state's per
capita income



What are the three main categories of people who are automatically eligible for Medicaid? - Correct
Answer 1.Families with children receiving support under the Temporary Assistant for Needy Families
(TANF) program

2.People receiving Supplement Security Income (SSI), which includes the elderly, blind, and disabled
with low income

3.Children and pregnant women whose family income is at or below 133% of the Federal Poverty
Level



About 9 million people are called dual-eligible beneficiaries. What does that mean? - Correct Answer
-They are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare.

-Dual-eligibility beneficiaries have extensive health care needs because of chronic conditions, one or
more disabilities, or a need for long-term care

-Example - low-income elderly and disabled young adults who are entitled to Medicare, but also
become eligible for some level of assistance under Medicaid



If you are in the C-suite of a large hospital system, what would you expect to happen, and what
would you therefore have to plan for, if your state expanded Medicaid coverage, based upon
observation and research findings? - Correct Answer -increased in the use of hospital emergency
departments

-increased use of Eds, even over a number of years.

-In the post-affordable Care Act era, Medicaid-paid use of Eds increased by 27%.

- Look at how you are staffing your ED.



There are a couple of perplexing and ongoing problems with the Medicaid program, and it would
affect just about any healthcare organization within which you might work. What are those and
explain? - Correct Answer -#1 problem: comparatively poor reimbursement for providers, and the

,result of this is that many physicians and some other providers do not serve Medicaid-covered
patients




**Medicare, Medicaid reimburses providers only a fraction of what Medicare pays providers for the
same or similar level of services



#2 churning. The constant exit and reentry of beneficiaries in the Medicaid system because their
eligibility tends to change a lot based upon their wildly fluctuating income from month to month.

-Data suggest that up to 30% of Medicaid beneficiaries will lose their eligibility within 6 months, and
almost half lose it within 12 months.

-Churning disrupts access and continuity of care



What is CHIP - Correct Answer -Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

-Initiated in 1997 as part of the Social Security Act



What does CHIP do? - Correct Answer -Intended to address the plight of uninsured children whose
family income exceeded the Medicaid threshold levels, which made them ineligible for Medicaid,
however for a host of other reasons did not have access to an employer-sponsored plan

Federal government provides funds in the form of block grants to states to cover children and
adolescents up to age 19 years.

-Federal law requires that ineligibility for Medicaid be established before a family is approved for
CHIP coverage benefits.

-Each state is allowed to establish its own eligibility criteria for CHIP, but those criteria have to comply
with Federal guidelines

CHIP financing is shared between federal and state governments.



Has CHIP been effective? If not, why, and if so, in what ways? - Correct Answer Yes

-Impact on reducing the number of uninsured children

-Improving access, continuity of care, and quality of care for children in all racial/ethnic groups and in
reducing racial and ethnic disparities in access, unmet needs, and continuity of care.
