company with fewer than 20 employees.

Question 5
Ms. Moore plans to retire when she turns 65 in a few months. She is in excellent health and will have
considerable income when she retires. She is concerned that her income will make it impossible for her
to qualify for Medicare. What could you tell her to address her concern?
a.Medicare is a program for people who have incomes and assets below specific limits, so you will have
to find out her exact financial situation before telling her whether she can obtain Medicare coverage.
b.Eligibility for Medicare is based on whether or not a person has ever been employed by the
federal government. If she or her husband were ever employed by the federal government, she can
enroll in Medicare.
,c.Medicare is a program for people of all ages with specific mental health disabilities. Since she is in
excellent health, she would not qualify, but should instead look into her state’s Medicaid program if she
wants further coverage.
d.Medicare is a program for people age 65 or older and those under age 65 with certain disabilities, end-
stage renal disease, and Lou Gehrig’s disease so she will be eligible for Medicare.

Question 6
Mrs. Duarte is enrolled in Original Medicare Parts A and B. She has recently reviewed her Medicare
Summary Notice (MSN) and disagrees with a determination that partially denied one of her claims for
services. What advice would you give her?

the MSN in the mail.

c. Mrs. Duarte should file an appeal of this initial determination within 90 days of the date she received

decision she should request a reconsideration by a qualified independent party within 10 days.
Incorrect: Beneficiaries must file an appeal related to Part A or B services within 120 days of the date
they get the MSN in the mail. If a beneficiary disagrees with the Medicare Administrative Contractor’s
decision, he/she has 180 days after getting the decision notice to request a reconsideration by a
Qualified Independent Contractor.

60 days of the date she received the MSN in the mail.

could you tell Mr. Moy?

covered under Original Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare.

, Question 8
Agent John Miller is meeting with Jerry Smith, a new prospect. Jerry is currently enrolled in
Medicare Parts A and B. Jerry has also purchased a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan which he
has had for several years. However, the plan does not provide drug benefits. How would you advise
Agent John Miller to proceed?
a.Tell prospect Jerry Smith that Medigap is simply a variation of a Medicare Advantage plan and the
companies John represents offer more comprehensive coverage for a lower price.
b.Tell prospect Jerry Smith that he should consider adding a standalone Part D prescription drug
coverage policy to his present coverage.
c.Tell prospect Jerry Smith that he should drop his Medigap coverage and put those premium dollars
toward the purchase of a standalone Part D prescription drug plan because he can always reactivate
his Medigap policy on a guaranteed issue basis. Furthermore, because he has had Medigap Jerry will
not incur a Part D late enrollment penalty.
d.Tell prospect Jerry Smith that he should keep his Medigap plan but he should supplement his
healthcare coverage by purchasing a Medicare Advantage plan that offers prescription drug
coverage (MA-PD).

Part B.

monthly premium for that coverage.
