2022 OVERVIEW of MEDICARE PROGRAM BASICS: CHOICE, ELIGIBILTY, AND BENEFITS MODULE 1
1. Ms. Moore plans to retire when she turns 65 in a few months. She is in excellent health and will have considerable income when she retires. She is concerned that her income will make it impossible for her to qualify for Medicare. What could you tell her to address her concern? a. Medicare is a program for people of all ages with specific mental health disabilities. Since she is in excellent health, she would not qualify, but should instead look into her state’s Medicaid program if she wants further coverage. Incorrect b. Eligibility for Medicare is based on whether or not a person has ever been employed by the federal government. If she or her husband were ever employed by the federal government, she can enroll in Medicare. Incorrect c. Medicare is a program for people age 65 or older and those under age 65 with certain disabilities, endstage renal disease, and Lou Gehrig’s disease so she will be eligible for Medicare. Correct d. Medicare is a program for people who have incomes and assets below specific limits, so you will have to find out her exact financial situation before telling her whether she can obtain Medicare coverage. Incorrect 2. Mrs. Park is an elderly retiree. She has a low, fixed income. What could you tell Mrs. Park that might be of assistance?
