I could not understand this SC. Along with answer, please try to explain what the SC is saying basically.

I'll choose A because it sounds idiomattically (is that a word?!?) correct.

Its basically saying that the underwriters want the providers of treatment for mental health problems (aka mental hospitals) to be responsible for ensuring that their treatments are actually benefitting the patients.

Between A and C - My choice is A.

I have read that subjunctive mood expresses a wish that a course of action be taken. The typical phrasing is '...that x be y'.

As far as what the SC means it can be read as

The health insurance companies now demand that the providers (hospitals or the institutes that treat mental disorders) be accountable for the treatment and that the treatments have had a tangible benefit (to patients).

Anyone else - pls feel free to correct my understanding.

Actually, I ignored A first, in the thinking that ETS does not like "that they be accountable" kind of statements. this type of statement can further be shortened.

D. "accty for providers" changes meaning.
C. "have accountability to" is not idiomatic.
E. Long

B?

B for me.

health insurers are trying to establish whether the treatments are beneficial. "A" says providers are establishing treatments. so, B or D.

A seems to be right to me.

Dj,
Providers are administering the treatments. Are we missing something. To me A sounds logical and complete. Even the pronoun 'they' fits perfectly well to the Mental Health Providers, 'accountable for' is the right usage of Idiom.

Correct me in case i have mised something.

I also got B here since I thought that intended meaning is that ...health insurers want to establish that providers of health services provide beneficial services.
OA given is A. I think either it is a very awkward sentence or I am unable to understand some basic stuff here.
Again a confusing one!!!

It is A. "accountable for V.ing" is nicely an idiom. You can check here
