Which situation would have resulted in this action?

1) Increased rate of patient admissions
2) Increased rate of patient dissatisfaction
3) Increased number of unexpected patient deaths
4) Increased number of unexpected insurance denials

Answer 1

Option 4, increased number of unexpected insurance denials, would result in this action.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the situation that would result in an increased number of unexpected insurance denials is option 4. Increased number of unexpected insurance denials can occur when insurance companies use pre-existing medical conditions to determine if someone is high risk, leading them to either charge higher prices or deny insurance coverage altogether.
