I thought ancillary services included diagnostic tests like lab work, but now I'm questioning if that's true. Maybe C is misleading?

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Can ancillary services include diagnostic services like lab tests, or are those excluded? I'll need to re-read the options carefully to make sure I don't miss anything.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The fact that ancillary services don't typically impact physician behavior is a key distinguishing characteristic, so I'm going to go with option A.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. Based on my understanding, the correct answer is that these services typically require a physician referral before a patient can access them.

I'm going with C, though I have to admit, the term 'ancillary' always makes me think of those little packets of condiments you get at fast food places. Anyone else?

This is a tricky one, but I think A is the right answer. Physicians can't really control how much their patients use ancillary services, can they? That would be like trying to stop a sneeze.

D is the way to go. You know nobody's going to seek out a physical therapist or home health aide without their doctor telling them to. That's just how the system works.
