Assignment:
Often, the needs of a patient necessitate receiving care from various levels within the health care industry. Assume that a patient has developed a brain tumor and is seeking care from his or her primary care physician.

•Services provided for the level
•Medical professionals encountered on the level
•Special issues or challenges involved at this level of care from the following perspectives:
- A patient perspective
- A provider perspective
- An administrator's perspective
- A third-party payer's perspective
•Procedure to refer the patient to the next level of care
Be sure to make your answers specific to a patient that has a brain tumor as you trace his or her interaction with the health care industry through the 3 levels of care. In addition, do not forget to use citations and references throughout your paper.
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
