Ah, I see someone's been reading up on their healthcare terminology! B is indeed the correct answer. Now, who's ready for the next question about 'preauthorization'?

Option D is about utilization review, not screening. Screening is all about finding problems early, not evaluating the medical necessity of treatments. Easy choice - B is the way to go.

Haha, I'd love to see the member's face if we told them they had to 'distinguish between minor problems and serious conditions and effectively treat minor problems themselves'! That's Option A, and it's definitely not screening.

I was torn between B and C, but I think B is the better answer. Screening is about identifying potential issues, not just predicting them.
