1. Which Medicare Part primarily provides coverage for
inpatient hospital services?
A. Part B
B. Part C
C. Part D
D. Part A
Rationale: Medicare Part A is commonly referred to as Hospital
Insurance. It generally covers inpatient hospital care, certain
skilled nursing facility services, hospice care, and limited home
health services when applicable requirements are met. Part B
generally addresses physician and outpatient medical services,
while Part D provides prescription drug coverage. Medicare
Advantage plans under Part C provide Medicare-covered Part A
and Part B benefits through private Medicare-approved plans.
,2. Which of the following is generally covered under Medicare
Part B?
A. Inpatient hospital room and board
B. Physician services and outpatient medical services
C. Most prescription drugs obtained from a retail pharmacy
D. Hospice services exclusively
Rationale: Part B is Medical Insurance and generally covers
medically necessary physician services, outpatient care,
preventive services, durable medical equipment, and other
covered medical services. Inpatient hospital coverage generally
falls under Part A, while outpatient prescription drug coverage
is generally provided through Part D or a Medicare Advantage
plan that includes drug coverage.
3. What is the primary purpose of Medicare Part D?
A. Cover inpatient hospital stays
B. Cover Medicare Supplement expenses
C. Provide prescription drug coverage
D. Replace Medicare Part A
Rationale: Medicare Part D provides outpatient prescription
drug coverage through private Medicare-approved prescription
drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans that include
prescription drug coverage. Part D does not replace Original
,Medicare Part A or Part B; instead, it addresses covered
outpatient prescription medications according to the plan's
formulary and coverage rules.
4. What does Medicare Part C refer to?
A. Medicare Supplement Insurance
B. Medicaid
C. Medicare Advantage
D. Medicare Part D prescription coverage
Rationale: Medicare Part C is Medicare Advantage. Medicare
Advantage plans are offered by private organizations approved
by Medicare and provide Medicare-covered Part A and Part B
benefits through the plan. Many Medicare Advantage plans also
include Part D prescription drug coverage and may offer
additional benefits beyond Original Medicare.
5. Which person generally meets the age requirement for
Medicare eligibility?
A. A 55-year-old with no qualifying disability
B. A 60-year-old receiving private insurance
C. A person age 65 or older who meets applicable Medicare
eligibility requirements
D. Anyone who is at least 50 years old
, Rationale: Medicare eligibility generally begins at age 65 for
individuals who meet the applicable citizenship or residency and
other eligibility requirements. Certain people younger than 65
can also qualify because of qualifying disabilities, End-Stage
Renal Disease, or other statutory circumstances. Age alone is
therefore not the only pathway to Medicare eligibility.
6. What is generally required for premium-free Medicare Part
A?
A. Enrollment in Medicaid
B. Sufficient Medicare-covered employment or qualifying work
history
C. Enrollment in a Medicare Advantage plan
D. Enrollment in Part D
Rationale: Most beneficiaries qualify for premium-free Part A
because they or a qualifying spouse accumulated sufficient
quarters of Medicare-covered employment and paid Medicare
taxes. Individuals who do not have enough qualifying work
history may be able to purchase Part A by paying a premium,
subject to Medicare's applicable rules.
