Answer 1

The first step Harry will have to take in order to see his podiatrist is: B. Get a referral from his primary care physician.

A health care can be defined as a medical plan or insurance for the medical care of a particular patient that covers a part or whole risk of the medical expenses to be incurred such as a private health care.

Some examples a private health care are:

• Point of Service (POS) plans.

• Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans.

• Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans.

Health maintenance organization (HMO) plans are often not paid for by the government but privately or sometimes from a patient's pocket. Thus, the patient is required to obtain a referral from his or her primary care physician before seeing any medical professional (specialist) such as a podiatrist.
