Why A is correct
ORC 1751.01(A) lists cancer clinical trials among the basic health care services, so trial-related care is treated as core coverage of a health insuring corporation rather than an add-on. The supplemental tier of ORC 1751.01(B) and the specialty tier of ORC 1751.01(C) are separate, distinct definitions.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Wrong: the supplemental tier of ORC 1751.01(B) covers services such as dental and vision care; cancer clinical trials are basic under ORC 1751.01(A).
- C) Wrong: ORC 1751.01(C) defines specialty health care services as a separate category; cancer clinical trials are not placed there.
- D) Wrong: cancer clinical trials are expressly included in the basic service tier under ORC 1751.01(A); they are not excluded from the structure.
Memory hook
Clinical trials are basic care — cancer coverage lives in ORC 1751.01(A).
