Final answer:
Billing personnel must be knowledgeable about both Federal and State guidelines to ensure Medicaid compliance. Option (C) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The billing personnel must be knowledgeable about both Federal and State guidelines to ensure compliance with Medicaid programs.
An example of a Federal guideline is the requirement to properly code and document medical services provided.
An example of a State guideline is the eligibility requirements for Medicaid enrollment which can vary from state to state.
Medicaid beneficiaries generally must be residents of the state in which they are receiving Medicaid. They must be either citizens of the United States or certain qualified non-citizens, such as lawful permanent residents. In addition, some eligibility groups are limited by age, or by pregnancy or parenting status.
Medicare is federal health insurance for anyone age 65 and older, and some people under 65 with certain disabilities or conditions. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that gives health coverage to some people with limited income and resources.
