When considering the benefits for the recipients, which is more beneficial: Medicaid or private insurance?
a. Private insurance, because it is accepted by all providers, whereas Medicaid is not
b. Private insurance, because it gives its beneficiaries more benefits than Medicaid gives
c. Medicaid, because it includes early and periodic screening, diagnosis, and treatment services
d. Medicaid, because it is available for all children
ANS: C
Through the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment program, a child covered by Medicaid can receive a range of health and health-related services beginning in infancy. The program is designed to ensure availability and accessibility of health care resources and to help Medicaid recipients and their parents effectively use these resources. The program's services far exceed those usually covered by private insurance. Private insurance may not be accepted by all providers, as many insurance plans may limit the providers that can be seen under a certain insurance plan. Medicaid is not available for all children, only those from low-income families.
