01 Medicare Eligibility & Basic Coverage
Question 1 Medicare Eligibility
Mr. Davis is 52 years old and has recently been diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and
will soon begin dialysis. He is wondering if he can obtain coverage under Medicare. What should you
tell him?
CORRECT ANSWER
He may sign up for Medicare at any time; however, coverage usually begins on the fourth month
after dialysis treatments start.
Question 2 Medicare at 65
Juan Perez, turning age 65 next month, intends to work for several more years at Smallcap, Inc. (15
employees). He asks if he will be entitled to Medicare and how enrolling would impact his employer-
sponsored coverage.
CORRECT ANSWER
Juan is likely eligible for Medicare once he turns age 65. If he enrolls, Medicare would become
the primary payor of his healthcare claims and Smallcap does not have to continue to offer him
coverage comparable to those under age 65 under its employer-sponsored group health plan.
Question 3 Medigap / Supplemental

Supplemental Insurance provides. What could you tell Mr. Moy?

Medicare Supplemental Insurance would help cover his Part A and Part B deductibles or
coinsurance in Original Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare, as well as possibly some services that
Medicare does not cover.
Question 4 Part B Enrollment
Mrs. Pena is 66 years old, has employer plan coverage, and will retire next year. She heard she must
enroll in Part B at the beginning of the year. What can you tell her?
CORRECT ANSWER
She may enroll at any time while covered under her employer plan, but she will have a special
eight-month enrollment period after the last month on her employer plan, during which she may
enroll in Medicare Part B.
Question 5 Part A Eligibility
Mrs. Chen will be 65 soon, has been a citizen for twelve years, employed full time, and paid taxes. She
worries she won't qualify for Part A because she was not born in the U.S. What should you tell her?
CORRECT ANSWER
Most individuals who are citizens and age 65 or over are covered under Part A by virtue of
having paid Medicare taxes while working, though some may be covered as a result of paying
monthly premiums.
Question 6 Medigap and Drug
Coverage
Mrs. Gonzalez has Original Medicare and a Medigap policy with no drug coverage. She wants to
replace her Medigap plan with one that provides drug coverage. What should you tell her?

Mrs. Gonzalez cannot purchase a Medigap plan that covers drugs, but she could keep her
Medigap policy and enroll in a Part D prescription drug plan.
