Which program provides workers' compensation coverage?

• A. Workers' Compensation
• B. Medicare
• C. Medicaid
• D. TRICARE

Answer: (A)

Workers' compensation coverage comes from the workers' compensation program. This no-fault system is built to help employees who are injured or become ill due to work responsibilities, providing medical care and wage replacement without needing to prove fault. Employers fund these programs and, in most places, coverage is mandated by state law, covering job-related injuries or illnesses within covered conditions and time frames. This is different from Medicare (health coverage for older adults and certain disabled individuals), Medicaid (health coverage for low-income individuals), and TRICARE (health coverage for military personnel and their families). While those programs help with general health costs, they do not supply the specific workers' compensation benefits for on-the-job injuries.
