,SECTION 1: Medicare Basics & Eligibility
Q1. Who is eligible for Medicare?
A) Anyone over age 60
B) U.S. citizens or legal residents aged 65 or older, and certain younger people
with disabilities or specific conditions
C) Only those who have paid Medicare taxes for 20 quarters
D) Only U.S. citizens born in the United States
Answer: B
Rationale: Medicare eligibility extends to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent
residents who have lived in the U.S. for at least 5 continuous years and are age 65
or older. It also covers individuals under 65 with certain disabilities (receiving
Social Security Disability Insurance for 24 months), those with End-Stage Renal
Disease (ESRD), and those with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig's
disease).
Q2. How many parts does Medicare have?
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5
Answer: C
Rationale: Medicare has four parts: Part A (Hospital Insurance), Part B (Medical
Insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage — an alternative to Parts A and B), and
Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage). Medigap (Medicare Supplement Insurance)
is not a part of Medicare itself but a separate supplemental policy.
Q3. Which part of Medicare is known as Hospital Insurance?
A) Part A
B) Part B
C) Part C
D) Part D
Answer: A
Rationale: Medicare Part A is referred to as Hospital Insurance because it covers
inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some
home health care services.
Q4. Which part of Medicare is known as Medical Insurance?
A) Part A
B) Part B
C) Part C
D) Part D
Answer: B
, Rationale: Medicare Part B is called Medical Insurance and covers services from
doctors and other health care providers, outpatient care, medical equipment, and
preventive services.
Q5. What does Medicare Part A generally NOT cover?
A) Inpatient hospital care
B) Skilled nursing facility care
C) Long-term custodial care
D) Hospice care
Answer: C
Rationale: Medicare Part A does not cover custodial care (help with activities of
daily living like bathing, dressing, and eating) if that is the only care needed. Long-
term custodial care is one of the most significant gaps in Medicare coverage.
Q6. Most people do not pay a premium for Medicare Part A because:
A) It is funded entirely by general tax revenue
B) They or their spouse paid Medicare taxes while working
C) It is a welfare program
D) The Affordable Care Act eliminated Part A premiums
Answer: B
Rationale: Most people qualify for premium-free Part A because they or their
spouse paid Medicare payroll taxes for at least 40 quarters (10 years) while
employed. Those who don't meet this requirement may purchase Part A for a
monthly premium.
Q7. What is the standard Medicare Part B premium for 2027?
A) $164.90
B) $174.70
C) It is adjusted annually; refer to CMS for the current year's amount
D) There is no standard premium — it varies entirely by state
Answer: C
Rationale: The standard Part B premium is adjusted each year by CMS. While
historical amounts like $164.90 (2023) and $174.70 (2024) existed, the exact
2027 figure must be verified with CMS publications. High-income beneficiaries pay
an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) on top of the standard
premium.
Q8. What is the penalty for late enrollment in Medicare Part B?
A) 5% per year
B) 10% for each full 12-month period the individual could have had Part B but
didn't sign up
