A patient who sustained an injury while on the job reports to the medical office for a follow-up visit. To process this patient's medical service claim correctly, which type of insurance should the medical assistant verify for coverage of the visit?
The correct answer is workers' compensation insurance because it specifically covers treatment for injuries and illnesses that occur as a result of employment or workplace activities. Commercial plans typically cover general health services not related to work injuries. Medicare and Medicaid are government programs for specific populations and not related to workplace injuries. Private insurance may provide coverage for personal medical care but does not typically handle work-related injuries, which is the domain of workers' compensation.
