,SECTION ONE – QUESTIONS 1–100
Question 1
Which government agency administers the Medicare program and establishes the regulations that

A. Department of Health and Human Services
B. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
C. Social Security Administration
D. Department of Veterans Affairs
🟢 B. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

which of the following premiums?
A. Part A premium only
B. Part B premium
C. Part C premium
D. Part D premium only
🟢 B. Part B premium
🔴 Explanation: Enrolling in a Medicare Advantage Plan does not eliminate the requirement to

through the MA plan, but the Part B premium obligation remains.

function together.
