,AHIP 2027 FINAL EXAM
1. Mrs. Andrews is comparing her employer's retiree insurance to Original Medicare and would
like to know which of the following services Original Medicare will cover if the appropriate criteria
are met. What could you tell her?
A) Original Medicare covers ambulance services.
B) Original Medicare covers routine dental care.
C) Original Medicare covers hearing aids.
D) Original Medicare covers vision exams.
Answer: A
Rationale: Original Medicare Part B covers ambulance services when other transportation
would endanger the beneficiary’s health. Routine dental, hearing aids, and vision exams are
generally not covered under Original Medicare.
2. What impact, if any, have recent regulatory changes had on Medigap plans?
A) The Part B deductible is no longer covered for individuals newly eligible for Medicare starting
January 1, 2020.
B) Medigap plans now cover the Part A deductible for all beneficiaries.
C) Medigap plans now include prescription drug coverage.
D) There have been no changes to Medigap benefits.
Answer: A
Rationale: For beneficiaries newly eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020, Medigap
plans cannot cover the Part B deductible. Medigap plans sold today generally do not include drug
coverage (Plan F and C are grandfathered but not available to new enrollees).
3. Joan and Loretta are both enrolled in Medicare. Joan pays a premium for Part A coverage.
Loretta does not. Which statement best explains this difference?
A) Joan is younger than 65; Loretta is over 65.
B) Joan chose a Medicare Advantage plan; Loretta stayed with Original Medicare.
C) Joan worked only a short time and did not accumulate sufficient work credits; Loretta worked
for well over 10 years accumulating 40+ quarters of contributions.
,D) Joan has higher income; Loretta has lower income.
Answer: C
Rationale: Most people get premium-free Part A if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes
for at least 40 quarters. Those with fewer than 40 quarters pay a premium.
4. Larry Miller (Original Medicare) is admitted in January for 3 days, again in July for a week, and
again in December for a week. For how many Part A deductibles will Larry be responsible?
A) One deductible (only once per calendar year).
B) Two deductibles (January and July).
C) Three deductibles (each admission).
D) No deductibles because he has a Medigap plan.
Answer: C
Rationale: Medicare Part A has a deductible for each benefit period. A benefit period begins
with admission and ends after 60 consecutive days without inpatient care. Since each admission
occurred after a 60-day break, Larry faces three separate deductibles.
5. Mr. Birch is receiving rehabilitation in a skilled nursing facility and receives notice that Medicare
will no longer cover his stay. He thinks services are ending too soon. What should you tell him?
A) He should accept the decision and seek private pay.
B) He should file a fast appeal by noon of the calendar day following receipt of the notice.
C) He should call his state insurance department.
D) He should wait for his Medicare Summary Notice and then appeal.
Answer: B
Rationale: Beneficiaries have the right to a fast appeal when SNF services are terminated. The
appeal must be filed by noon of the next calendar day after receiving the notice.
6. Mr. Ray would like drug coverage but does not want to be enrolled in a Medicare Advantage
plan. What should you tell him?
A) He must enroll in an MA-PD plan to get drug coverage.
, B) He can enroll in a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan and keep Original Medicare Parts A
and B.
C) He cannot get drug coverage unless he joins a Medicare Advantage plan.
D) He should purchase a Medigap plan with drug benefits.
Answer: B
Rationale: Stand-alone Medicare Part D plans (PDPs) are available to beneficiaries who stay in
Original Medicare. Medigap plans sold today do not include drug coverage.
7. Mrs. Sanders, a citizen for 12 years, is concerned she won’t qualify for Part A because she was
not born in the U.S. What should you tell her?
A) Citizenship is irrelevant; only residency matters.
B) Most citizens age 65+ are covered under Part A by paying Medicare taxes while working,
though some pay monthly premiums.
C) She must have been born in the U.S. to get Part A.
D) She will automatically be disqualified because she has not been a citizen for at least 15 years.
Answer: B
Rationale: U.S. citizenship and paying Medicare taxes for at least 40 quarters (or being
married to someone who did) generally provides premium-free Part A. Birth location does not
matter.
8. Mrs. Carpenter disagrees with a determination on her Medicare Summary Notice (MSN). What
advice would you give her?
A) She should call her doctor to correct the claim.
B) She should file an appeal within 120 days of receiving the MSN.
C) She must file a grievance with the plan.
D) She should wait until next year to dispute it.
Answer: B
Rationale: For Original Medicare, beneficiaries have 120 days from the date of the MSN to
file an appeal of a partial denial or initial determination.
