Ms. Claggett is sixty-six (66) years old. She has been covered under Original
Medicare for the last six years due to her disability and has never been
enrolled in a Medicare Advantage or a Part D plan before. She wants to enroll
in a Part D plan. She knows that there is such a thing as the "Part D Initial
Enrollment Period" (IEP) and has concluded that, since she has never
enrolled in such a plan before, she should be eligible to enroll under this
period. What should you tell her about how the Part D Initial Enrollment
Period applies to her situation? - CORRECT-ANSWERSMs. Claggett has had
two IEPs and missed them both. The first occurred three months before and
three months after the month when she was first entitled to Part A OR
enrolled in Part B. Because she was eligible for Medicare before age 65, Ms.
Claggett had a second IEP based on turning age 65, which has also expired.
Ms. Thomas has worked for many years and is turning 68 in June. She is
eligible for Medicare Part A and did not enroll for Part B when first eligible
because she has insurance through her employer - Coffee Brew, Inc. She also
did not enroll in Part D because she had creditable coverage. She would like
to retire in June and enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. She has been
informed that her group coverage will end on her retirement effective date.
How would you advise Ms. Thomas? - CORRECT-ANSWERSMs. Thomas can
enroll in Part B without a late penalty at any time she is still covered by her
employer group and 8 months after her last month of employer group
coverage without a penalty. However, because she wants to enroll in a MA
plan after retirement, she should make sure her Part B coverage is effective
in time to use the Medicare Advantage/Part D special election period for
individuals changing from employer group coverage to enroll in a MA plan or
MA-PD. The SEP begins while she has employer group coverage and will last
until 2 months after the month after the month her employer coverage ends.
If she wants Part D coverage she should enroll in an MA-PD or a PDP
(depending on how she decides to receive her Part A and B benefits) during
this time.
