Requiring prior authorization for emergency services seems counterintuitive to access. I think that might not align with CMS requirements, but I'm not completely certain.

This is a good question to test our understanding of Medicare+Choice plan regulations. I'll review the options and think about which one most directly addresses the requirement for adequate access to covered services.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is it the business analyst who would be responsible for the test plan? They're the ones who understand the requirements, so they might be the ones to update the test plan. I'll have to review my notes on this.

Option A sounds like it gives a lot of freedom to the enrollees, but I'm not sure that's the best way to ensure adequate access. Shouldn't Brightwell be the one making those decisions?
