The key here is understanding the differences between the two approaches. Open contracting is about meeting standards, while selective contracting is about competitive bidding. I'm going to carefully consider each option and eliminate the ones that don't fit.

Key is remembering medical expenses are DIRECT costs of healthcare delivery. That points right to option D - payments to providers.
