A patient who is 68 years old is most likely covered by what type of insurance

  1. Private health insurance

  2. Group coverage

  3. Medicaid

  4. Medicare

The correct answer is: Medicare

As a patient ages, they are more likely to qualify for Medicare as it is a federal health insurance program for individuals 65 years and older. Private health insurance would require the patient to pay for their own coverage, while group coverage would depend on whether the patient is still employed or not. Medicaid is a state-run program for low-income individuals, so it would not apply to all individuals aged 68. Therefore, Medicare is the most likely type of insurance that would cover a 68-year-old patient.
