Wait, there's a 'fair procedure law' too? I thought health care was supposed to be complicated enough without a whole legal dictionary to keep track of. Maybe they should just call it the 'good luck, you're on your own' law.

I think the direct access law is the one they're looking for. Although I'm more worried about how I'm going to remember all these obscure health care regulations. Maybe I should have just become a plumber instead.

C, the direct access law, is definitely the right answer. Although I'm still trying to figure out who came up with these weird law names. 'Any willing provider'? Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie!

Hmm, I was debating between B and C, but C seems to be the winner here. Direct access laws can be a real headache for PCPs trying to keep a handle on specialty care costs.

The direct access law is the correct answer. It allows plan members to see specialists without a referral from a PCP, which can impact the PCP's ability to manage utilization. Pretty straightforward if you know your health care laws.
