Medical Ethics are principles of right or good conduct.
A.True
B.False
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is indeed TRUE. Medical ethics is a system of moral principles that applies values and judgments to the practice of medicine. It serves as a practical guide for healthcare professionals to determine what is right, fair, and good conduct when caring for patients. In modern healthcare, these principles of good conduct are generally built upon four core pillars: Autonomy: Respecting a patient's right to make their own decisions about their medical care. Beneficence: The duty of the healthcare provider to act in the best interest of the patient (doing "good"). Non-maleficence: The foundational promise to "do no harm" to the patient. Justice: Ensuring that medical resources, treatments, and care are distributed fairly and equally across society.

Question #4 (Topic: demo questions)
Amendment to the HMO Act of 1973 is legislation that allowed federally qualified HMOs to permit
members to occasionally use non HMO physicians and be partially reimbursed.
A.True
B.False
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The HMO Act of 1973 originally mandated strict rules for an organization to be considered a "federally qualified" Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). One of the tightest restrictions was that members had to receive all of their care from the HMO's closed panel of designated, in-network physicians. Subsequent amendments to the Act relaxed these rules to make HMOs more appealing and flexible. The specific legislation allowed federally qualified HMOs to offer an out-of-network option (often laying the groundwork for what we now know as a Point-of-Service or POS plan).This meant members could occasionally see a non-HMO physician and still receive partial reimbursement, rather than having to pay 100% out of pocket. (Note: If this is from an insurance billing/coding test bank like the AAPC CPB exam, "TRUE" is the officially designated correct answer.)
