I’m confused about A; I thought open panel meant they could be independent contractors, so that might rule out A.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think D might be right because open panel providers have more flexibility in their care standards.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like open panel providers can see patients from different plans, which makes B seem wrong.

I think I remember that in an open panel, providers can work independently, so maybe C is correct?
