ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ Mr. Wu is eligible for Medicare. He has limited financial resources
but failed to qualify for the Part D low-income subsidy. Where might
he turn for help with his prescription drug costs? Answer: Mr. Wu
may still qualify for help in paying Part D costs through his State
Pharmaceutical Assistance Program.
◉ Mr. Diaz continued working with his company and was insured
under his employer's group plan until he reached age 68. He has
heard that there is a premium penalty for those who did not sign up
for Part B when first eligible and wants to know how much he will
have to pay. What should you tell him? Answer: Mr. Diaz will not pay
any penalty because he had continuous coverage under his
employer's plan.
◉ Mrs. Pena is 66 years old, has coverage under an employer plan
and will retire next year. She heard she must enroll in Part B at the
beginning of the year to ensure no gap in coverage. What can you tell
her? Answer: She may enroll at any time while she is covered under
her employer plan, but she will have a special eight-month
enrollment period that differs from the standard general enrollment
period, during which she may enroll in Medicare Part B.
