I can't believe they're actually testing us on the order of cost for different healthcare settings. Next thing you know, they'll be asking us to recite the healthcare billing codes by heart. Does the exam writer have a PhD in Boredom or something?

E is definitely the right answer here. I mean, who would choose to go to the emergency room for a minor injury or illness when an urgent care center is usually cheaper and more convenient? Unless you're a superhero who needs to get to the hospital ASAP, of course.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about this one. I was thinking it might be D, where all three settings are listed in no particular order. But E does seem more logical in terms of cost. I guess I'll have to go with E and hope for the best!

I'm pretty sure the answer is E as well. Emergency departments are the most expensive, followed by urgent care centers, and then physician's offices. It's a good thing I remembered that from my Healthcare Economics class!

The correct answer is E. Emergency departments, urgent care centers, and then physician's offices are typically ranked in order of increasing cost of providing care. This makes sense since emergency departments have the most advanced equipment and staffing to handle the most serious cases.
