Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 105
Mr. Khan's employer has recently dropped comprehensive creditable prescription drug
coverage that was offered to company retirees. The company told Mr. Khan that, because he
was affected by this change, he would qualify for a special election period. Mr. Khan
contacted you to find out more about what this means. What can you tell him?
CORRECT ANSWER
It means that he qualifies for a one-time opportunity to enroll in a Part D prescription drug plan.
RATIONALE
A special enrollment period allows individuals who experience a qualifying life event, such as losing
other creditable prescription drug coverage, to enroll in Medicare Part D outside the standard
enrollment periods. This provision ensures beneficiaries maintain continuous prescription drug
coverage.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 105
Mr. Chambers suffers from diabetes which has gotten progressively worse during the last
year. He is currently enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and a Part D prescription
drug plan and did not enroll in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan during the last annual open
enrollment period (AEP) which has just closed. Mr. Chambers has heard certain MA plans
might provide him with more specialized coverage for his diabetes and wants to know if he
must wait until the next annual open enrollment period (AEP) before enrolling in such a plan.
What should you tell him?
CORRECT ANSWER
If there is a special needs plan (SNP) in Mr. Chambers's area that specializes in caring for
individuals with diabetes, he may enroll in the SNP at any time under a special election period
(SEP).

Mr. and Mrs. Orozco attended one of your sales presentations. They've asked you to come to
their home to clear up a few questions. During the presentation, Mrs. Orozco feels tired and
tells you that her husband can finish things up. She goes to bed. At the end of your
discussion, Mr. Orozco says that he wants to enroll both himself and his wife. What should
you do?
CORRECT ANSWER
If she can do so, only Mrs. Orozco can sign her enrollment form. Mrs. Orozco will have to wake
up to sign her form or do so at another time.
RATIONALE
A contract requires the valid consent of all parties involved, meaning Mrs. Orozco must personally
sign the enrollment form to indicate her agreement. This principle upholds the legal requirement
for contractual capacity and voluntary assent.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 105
You are visiting Mr. Connor and his daughter at her request. He has advanced Alzheimer's
and is incapable of understanding the implications of choosing a Medicare Advantage or
prescription drug plan. Can his daughter fill out the enrollment form and sign it for him?
CORRECT ANSWER
Mr. Connor's daughter can do so only if she is authorized under state law as a court-appointed
legal guardian, has a durable power of attorney for health care decisions, or is authorized under
state surrogate consent laws to make health decisions.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 105
Mrs. Farmer would like to enroll in a Medicare Cost plan that offers Part D prescription drug
coverage. She is coming to you for advice about when she can enroll in a plan you have
previously discussed. What should you tell her?
CORRECT ANSWER
Enrollment in Cost plans offering Part D coverage is available only during enrollment periods
under the Part D program, and Cost plans must accept enrollments during these periods.
Page 3
, RATIONALE
Enrollment in Medicare Cost plans with Part D coverage is restricted to the specific enrollment
periods defined by the Part D program, during which these plans are mandated to accept new
members. This ensures that beneficiaries can join or switch plans at predictable times, aligning
with Medicare's structured enrollment framework.
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 105
Mrs. Dunn would like her daughter, who lives in another state, to meet with you during the
Annual Election Period to help her complete her enrollment in a Part D plan. She asked you
when she should have her daughter plan to visit. What could you tell her?
CORRECT ANSWER
Her daughter should come in November.
RATIONALE
The Annual Election Period (AEP) for Medicare Part D plans runs from October 15th through
December 7th, allowing beneficiaries to make changes to their coverage. Therefore, the daughter
should plan her visit during November, which falls within this enrollment window.
Q7 QUESTION 7 OF 105
Mrs. Delgado is currently enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B), but she has been
working with Agent Hudson in the selection of a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan. It is mid-
September, and Mrs. Delgado is going on vacation. Agent Hudson is considering suggesting
that he and Mrs. Delgado complete the application together before she leaves. He will then
submit the paper application before the start of the annual enrollment period (AEP). What
would you say If you were advising Agent Hudson?
CORRECT ANSWER
This is a bad idea. Agents are generally prohibited from soliciting or accepting an enrollment
form before the start of the AEP.
RATIONALE
Completing an enrollment application before the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) constitutes
prohibited solicitation and acceptance of an enrollment form, violating Medicare Advantage
marketing guidelines. This action could lead to penalties for the agent and invalidate the
enrollment.
