Packet 5: Bonus 13
This law includes EMTALA, which requires that emergency departments offer uncompensated care to uninsured patients. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this 1985 law that provides continuation coverage to employees, spouses, and dependents after the beneficiary loses a job. This law’s “rights” do not affect eligibility for Marketplace health insurance.
ANSWER: COBRA [or Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act; accept COBRA rights]
[10e] COBRA coverage often has higher premiums, but rolls over this amount that a beneficiary filing a claim must pay out-of-pocket before insurance kicks in. Co-pays do not always count toward meeting this amount.
ANSWER: deductible [or excess; accept flat deductible or percentage deductible]
[10h] This panel publishes recommendations for what insurance must cover without deductibles or co-pays. This “task force” gave an “A” grade to folic acid supplementation and pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV.
ANSWER: United States Preventive Services Task Force [or USPSTF; accept preventative in place of “preventive”]
