Easy peasy, option C all the way! It's like they're asking me to recite the alphabet - A and B, of course!

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'm tempted to say option D, but then the 'both A and B' option C also sounds plausible. Decisions, decisions...

I'm not sure, but it makes sense that both A and B could be correct. The health plan would want to ensure their providers are compensated for services in the emergency department.

I'm going with option B. The question specifically says the arrangements are 'structured through the health plan's contract with the hospital', so that has to be the right answer.

Option C seems like the correct answer. Both the statements about health plan payments for emergency services and the arrangements being through the hospital contract are true.
