Health and Life Insurance

Answer: B - Diagnostic and treatment services fall into the outpatient medical services category of the basic health care coverage of an HMO. Outpatient medical services must be prescribed or supervised by a physician and rendered in a health care facility not in a hospital. Other services that fall into this category include: short term physical therapy and rehabilitation services; laboratory and x-ray services; and outpatient surgery procedures. These services can occur in the physician’s office, the member’s home, or in another non-hospital facility.
