A pt arrives at a clinic with a bill for x-rays that were required due to an injury at the patient's place of employment. The patient has private insurance and is eligible for workers compensation. The assistant should recognize that Which of the following parties is responsible for payment of this bill?

The patient pays out of pocket
The clinic covers the cost
Private insurance
Paid in full by workers compensation

The correct answer is: Paid in full by workers compensation

Workers compensation is responsible for the payment of any medical bills associated with a work-related injury. The patient's private insurance may cover some of the costs, but it is ultimately the responsibility of workers compensation. Options A and B are incorrect because the patient and the clinic are not liable for the bill in this scenario. Option C may partially cover the costs, but it is not the primary responsible party. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
