plan.

Mr. Patel is in good health and is preparing a budget in anticipation of his
retirement when he turns 66. He wants to understand the health care costs he
might be exposed to under Medicare if he were to require hospitalization as a
result of an illness. In general terms, what could you tell him about his costs for
inpatient hospital services under Original Medicare?
a. Under Original Medicare, there is a single deductible amount due for the first 60
days of any inpatient hospital stay, after which it converts into a per-day
coinsurance amount through day 90. After day 90, he would pay a daily amount
up to 60 days over his lifetime, after which he would be responsible for all costs.
Correct: Beneficiaries are responsible for a single deductible amount for each
benefit period, followed by a per day coinsurance amount through day 90. For
day 91 and beyond, there is a charge for each “lifetime reserve day” up to 60
days over a beneficiary’s lifetime. After this, he would be responsible for all costs.
b. Under Original Medicare, the inpatient hospital co-payment is a percentage
of allowed charges. The percentage increases after 60 days and again after
90 days.
c. Under Original Medicare, if the inpatient hospital service is provided by a
participating Medicare provider, the co-payment is waived. Co-payments are
only charged when a beneficiary opts to receive care from a non-
participating provider.
d. Under Original Medicare, the inpatient hospital co-payment is a flat per-day
amount that remains the same throughout the first 60 days of a beneficiary’s
stay. After day 60 the amount gradually increases until day 90. After 90 days he
would pay the full amount of all costs. Feedback Source: Module 1, Slide -

Mrs. Chen will be 65 soon, has been a citizen for twelve years, has been employed
full time, and paid taxes during that entire period. She is concerned that she will
not qualify for coverage under part A because she was not born in the United
States. What should you tell her?
a. All individuals who are citizens and age 65 or over will be covered under Part A.
b. Most individuals who are citizens and age 65 or over and are covered under Part
A must pay a monthly premium for that coverage.
c. Most individuals who are citizens and age 65 or over and wish to be covered
under Part A must enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan.
d. Most individuals who are citizens and age 65 or over are covered under Part A
by virtue of having paid Medicare taxes while working, though some may be
covered as a result of paying monthly premiums.
Correct: Most individuals who are citizens and age 65 or older may qualify for
coverage either because they pay a monthly premium or because they paid
Medicare taxes while working for a specific duration.
