Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Ohio law places the children's health insurance program in the same public-program family as Medicaid: ORC Chapters 5160 and 5161 together govern the program, with Chapter 5161 addressing CHIP itself. It is neither a substitute that wipes out Medicaid eligibility nor a commercial product delivered by HICs under Ohio Department of Insurance oversight.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) CHIP does not displace Medicaid; it is a separate program within the ORC Chapters 5160 and 5161 framework.
- C) CHIP covers children, not adults; it is not a renaming of adult Medicaid.
- D) CHIP is a public program under ORC Chapters 5160 and 5161, not an HIC product regulated through certificate of authority.
Memory hook
Two chapters, two programs: 5160 for Medicaid, 5161 for the kids' program.
