3. Mrs. Geisler's neighbor told her she should look at her Part D options
during the annual Medicare enrollment period because the features of Part
D might have changed. Mrs. Geisler can't remember what Part D is so she

her?: Part D covers prescription drugs and she should look at her premiums,
formulary, and cost-sharing among other factors to see if they have changed.

and begin receiving Social Security benefits. Shortly thereafter Mrs. Quinn
received a letter informing her that she had been automatically enrolled in

paying a monthly premium and, except for many preventive and screening tests,

deductible. 6. Anita Magri will turn age 65 in August 2023. Anita intends to
enroll in
Original Medicare Part A and Part B. She would also like to enroll in a Medicare
Supplement (Medigap) plan. Anita's older neighbor Mel has told her about the
Medigap Plan F in which he is enrolled. It not only provides foreign travel
emergency benefits but also covers his Medicare Part B deductible. Anita
comes to you for advice. What should you tell her?: You are sorry to disappoint
Anita, but a Medigap F plan is no longer available to those who turn age 65 after
January 1, 2020. Anita might instead consider other Medigap plans that offer foreign
travel benefits but do not cover the Part B deductible.

8. 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

paid Medicare taxes while working, though some may be covered as a result of
paying monthly premiums.

services are provided under Original Medicare. What should you tell Mr. Xi
that best describes the health coverage provided to Medicare
beneficiaries?: Beneficiaries under Original Medicare have no cost-sharing for
most preventive services.
10. Mr. Barker enjoys a comfortable retirement income. He recently had
surgery and expected that he would have certain services and items
covered by the plan with minimal out-of-pocket costs because his MA-PD
coverage has been very good. However, when he received the bill, he was
surprised to see large charges in excess of his maximum out-of-pocket limit
that included some services and items he thought would be fully covered.
He called you to ask what he could do? What could you tell him?: You can
offer to review the plans appeal process to help him ask the plan to review the
coverage decision.
11. Mr. Lombardi is interested in a Medicare Advantage (MA) PPO plan that
you represent. It is one of three plans operated by the same organization in
Mr. Lombardi's area. The MA PPO plan does not include drug coverage, but
the other two plans do. Mr. Lombardi likes the PPO plan that does not
include drug coverage and intends to obtain his drug coverage through a
stand-alone Medicare prescription drug plan. What should you tell him
about this situation?: He could enroll either in one of the MA plans that include
prescription drug coverage or Original Medicare with a Medigap plan and
standalone Part D prescription drug coverage, but he cannot enroll in the MA-only
PPO plan and a stand-alone prescription drug plan.
12. Mr. Lopez has heard that he can sign up for a product called "Medicare
Advantage" but is not sure about what type of plan designs are available
through this program. What should you tell him about the types of health
plans that are available through the Medicare Advantage program?: There
are Medicare health plans such as HMOs, PPOs, PFFS, and MSAs.
