TOPIC 1: MEDICARE ADVANTAGE ENROLLMENT
10 Questions • 9.5% of Exam • Focuses on the procedures and requirements for enrolling in Medicare Advantage plans.
QUESTION 1
Mr. Khan's employer has recently dropped comprehensive creditable prescription drug
coverage that was offered to company retirees. The company told Mr. Khan that,
because he was affected by this change, he would qualify for a special election period.
Mr. Khan contacted you to find out more about what this means. What can you tell him?
Answer: It means that he qualifies for a one-time opportunity to enroll in a Part D prescription drug plan.
Rationale: A special enrollment period allows individuals who experience a qualifying life event, such as losing other
creditable prescription drug coverage, to enroll in Medicare Part D outside the standard enrollment periods. This provision
ensures beneficiaries maintain continuous prescription drug coverage.
QUESTION 2
Mr. Chambers suffers from diabetes which has gotten progressively worse during the
last year. He is currently enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and a Part D
prescription drug plan and did not enroll in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan during the
last annual open enrollment period (AEP) which has just closed. Mr. Chambers has
heard certain MA plans might provide him with more specialized coverage for his
diabetes and wants to know if he must wait until the next annual open enrollment
period (AEP) before enrolling in such a plan. What should you tell him?
Answer: If there is a special needs plan (SNP) in Mr. Chambers's area that specializes in caring for
individuals with diabetes, he may enroll in the SNP at any time under a special election period
(SEP).

QUESTION 3
Mrs. Dunn would like her daughter, who lives in another state, to meet with you during
the Annual Election Period to help her complete her enrollment in a Part D plan. She
asked you when she should have her daughter plan to visit. What could you tell her?
Answer: Her daughter should come in November.
Rationale: The Annual Election Period (AEP) for Medicare Part D plans runs from October 15th through December 7th,
allowing beneficiaries to make changes to their coverage. Therefore, the daughter should plan her visit during November,
which falls within this enrollment window.
QUESTION 4
During a sales presentation to Ms. Barbosa for a Medicare Advantage plan that has a
5-star rating in customer service and care coordination, and received an overall plan
performance rating of a 4-star, which of the following would be the best statement to
say to her?
Answer: The Medicare Advantage Plan received a 5-star rating in customer service and care coordination
with an overall performance rating of 4 stars.
Rationale: Accurate representation of the plan's specific quality ratings, including both the 5-star performance in customer
service/care coordination and the 4-star rating, ensures transparency and allows the potential enrollee to make an informed
decision. This adherence to factual disclosure is paramount in sales presentations for healthcare plans.
QUESTION 5
Kevin Xiong is a relatively new agent who has come to you for advice as to what he can
do during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (MA-OEP). What advice
should you give Kevin?
Answer: During the MA-OEP, Kevin can have one-on-one meetings with beneficiaries who have requested
such meetings.
Rationale: The MA-OEP allows beneficiaries to switch Medicare Advantage plans or switch from Medicare Advantage back
to Original Medicare, and agents can conduct marketing activities, including oneon-one meetings with beneficiaries who
have requested them. This period is for plan changes, and agents must adhere to specific marketing and enrollment
guidelines.
