Question

instructions: select the most appropriate response.
when the patient has multiple sources of insurance coverage, the payer of last resort is:
○ a. medicaid
○ b. medicare
○ c. medigap
○ d. medi-medi

Explanation:

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage to low - income individuals. When a patient has multiple insurance coverages, Medicaid acts as the payer of last resort. Medicare is primarily for people aged 65 and older or with certain disabilities and is not typically the last - resort payer. Medigap (Medicare Supplement Insurance) is additional insurance to fill gaps in Medicare coverage. "Medi - Medi" is not a standard term in this context.

Answer:

A. Medicaid
