Answer:

The answers are letters B and C.

Explanation:

<em>The differences between Braxton Hicks contractions and true labor are:</em>

<em>1. The braxton hicks contractions do not follow a consisten pattern, while the real contractions last around 30 to 70 seconds and repeat the same intervals.</em>

<em>2. Increasing frequency: The true labor happens after the increase of the real contractions frequency, meanwhile the braxton hicks  don't increase in frequency.</em>

<em>3. Intensity: the real contractions are way more painful than the braxton hicks. The braxton hicks contractions are not painfully mostly.</em>

<em>4. Location of discomfort: the true labor causes back pain, lower back pain that can spread to the legs. Braxton-hicks only causes abdominal pain, in the front.  In addition, changing positions and movement can stop the braxton hicks contraction. In a true labor, movement do not stop the real contractions.</em>

Explain the guidelines for processing claims for patients that have Medicare primary coverage.
leva [86]
Medicare is a federal healthcare program created in 1965 with the passage of the Social Security Amendments to ensure that citizens 65 and older as well as younger persons with certain disabilities have access to quality healthcare. Medicare is administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS manages Medicare programs by selecting official Medicare administrative contractors (MACs) to process the Medicare claims associated with various parts of Medicare. Medicare as a healthcare plan is divided into different parts, each of which cover a specific healthcare service:

Part A (Medically necessary services): Part A of Medicare covers basic healthcare necessary to treat a pressing medical condition. Covered services may include hospital care, skilled nursing care, nursing home care, hospice care, and other support deemed essential to treating an illness or a condition.

Part B (Preventive Care): Services covered in Part B include services or supplies needed to treat or prevent a medical condition. Part B of Medicare also covers some preventive care services such as inpatient/outpatient mental health, clinical research, and ambulance services.
