A family member receives Medicaid. Which is most likely to limit access of this person to healthcare?
A) Inability to find a provider who accepts Medicaid
B) Pre-existing conditions
C) Lack of insurance
D) Large insurance premiums
Ans: A
Feedback:
Those covered by Medicaid have insurance but may experience problems accessing primary care due to their inability to find a private physician who accepts Medicaid clients. Out-of-pocket expenses may also be a factor in inability to access care. Preexisting conditions limited access to private insurance before the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 but should not limit access to healthcare in a client covered by Medicaid. Large insurance premiums would not pertain to Medicaid.
