Health care revenue comes from many types
of sources including governmental sources (public programs) and private payers.
Medicare, Medicaid, and managed-care programs are some types of payers that
make up the revenue source for health care organizations.

In a 3–4-page paper, you are to compare and
contrast the characteristics of the following reimbursement sources:

• 
  Medicare
• 
  Medicaid
• 
  Managed care
• 
  Commercial

For each
reimbursement source above, you are to also include the following information:

• 
  Purpose of the program
• 
  Eligibility
• 
  Benefits of the program

Note: Requirements are just starting points. It is up to you to
expand upon these ideas in a direction you see best fit the contents of your
paper.           D
