A Trojan horse enables illegal access to a computer so that information can be obtained or emails can be sent. A rootkit is a piece of software that has access to an operating system on a computer and changes it.

Question 4

The real cost of a visit to a doctor for a patient who receives care from a non-participating Medicare provider who rejects assignment is $300. The patient has no additional insurance, and the usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) price is $240.00. How much of the patient's expenses will be out-of-pocket?

Accepted Answer

$117.60

Answer

The patient will have to pay $117.60 out of pocket. Medicare typically pays $192 for the appointment because it only covers 80% of the UCR bill ($240.80). However, the doctor only receives 95% of the standard payment ($192.95) or $182.40 ($300 - $182.40 = $117.60) because they are not participating and have not accepted assignment.

Question 5

Which of the following is the greatest option for a healthcare institution looking for a classification system to quantify levels of functional ability and disability?

Part I: Body Structure and Body Function: Functioning and Disability.
