SECTION 1: ORIGINAL MEDICARE (PARTS A & B) – Questions 1-40
1. Mrs. Shields is covered by Original Medicare. She sustained a hip fracture
and is being successfully treated for that condition. However, she and her
physicians feel that after her lengthy hospital stay, she will need a month or
two of nursing and rehabilitative care. What should you tell them about
Original Medicare's coverage of care in a skilled nursing facility?
A. Medicare will cover Mrs. Shields' skilled nursing services provided during
the first 20 days of her stay, after which she would have a copay until she has
been in the facility for 100 days.
B. Medicare will cover all costs for the first 100 days of skilled nursing care.
C. Medicare will not cover any skilled nursing facility care.
D. Medicare will cover 50% of costs for the first 60 days.
Answer: A. Medicare will cover Mrs. Shields' skilled nursing services provided
during the first 20 days of her stay, after which she would have a copay until
she has been in the facility for 100 days.
Rationale: Under Original Medicare, skilled nursing facility (SNF) care is
covered for up to 100 days per benefit period. The first 20 days are covered at
100% by Medicare, and days 21-100 require a daily copayment. After day 100,
the patient is responsible for all costs. Mrs. Shields must have a qualifying
,hospital stay of at least 3 days and require skilled nursing or rehabilitative
services.
2. Mrs. West wears glasses and dentures and has enjoyed considerable pain
relief from arthritis through massage therapy. She is concerned about
whether or not Medicare will cover these items and services. What should you
tell her?
A. Medicare covers all of these items and services.
B. Medicare does not cover massage therapy, or, in general, glasses or
dentures.
C. Medicare covers glasses and dentures but not massage therapy.
D. Medicare covers massage therapy but not glasses or dentures.
Answer: B. Medicare does not cover massage therapy, or, in general, glasses
or dentures.
Rationale: Original Medicare does not cover routine vision care (including
glasses), routine dental care (including dentures), or massage therapy. These
are considered non-covered services. Medicare Part A covers inpatient
hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice, and some home health
care. Part B covers physician services, outpatient care, preventive services,
and durable medical equipment.
,3. Mrs. Park is an elderly retiree. Mrs. Park has a low fixed income. What
could you tell Mrs. Park that might be of assistance?
A. She should contact her state Medicaid agency to see if she qualifies for one
of several programs that can help with Medicare costs for which she is
responsible.
B. She should apply for a Medicare Advantage plan that has no premiums.
C. She should contact Social Security to increase her monthly benefit.
D. She should purchase a Medigap plan to cover all costs.
Answer: A. She should contact her state Medicaid agency to see if she
qualifies for one of several programs that can help with Medicare costs for
which she is responsible.
Rationale: Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) are state-administered
programs that help low-income Medicare beneficiaries pay for Medicare
premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. These programs
include Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB), Specified Low-Income
Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB), Qualifying Individual (QI), and Qualified
Disabled and Working Individuals (QDWI). Mrs. Park should contact her state
Medicaid agency to see if she qualifies.
4. Mr. Alonso receives some help paying for his two generic prescription drugs
from his employer's retiree coverage, but he wants to compare it to a Part D
prescription drug plan. He asks you what costs he would generally expect to
encounter when enrolling into a standard Medicare Part D prescription drug
plan. What should you tell him?
, A. He generally would pay only a monthly premium.
B. He generally would pay a monthly premium, annual deductible, and per-
prescription cost-sharing.
C. He generally would pay only per-prescription cost-sharing.
D. He generally would pay nothing because Medicare covers all drug costs.
Answer: B. He generally would pay a monthly premium, annual deductible,
and per-prescription cost-sharing.
Rationale: Medicare Part D prescription drug plans typically have three main
cost components: a monthly premium, an annual deductible (which may vary
by plan), and per-prescription cost-sharing (copayments or coinsurance).
Some plans may have different benefit structures, but on average, they must
be at least as good as the standard model established by the government.
5. Mrs. Gonzalez is enrolled in Original Medicare and has a Medigap policy as
well, but it provides no drug coverage. She would like to keep the coverage
she has but replace her existing Medigap plan with one that provides drug
coverage. What should you tell her?
A. She can purchase a Medigap plan that covers drugs.
B. She cannot purchase a Medigap plan that covers drugs, but she could keep
her Medigap policy and enroll in a Part D prescription drug plan.
C. She must drop her Medigap policy to get drug coverage.
D. She can add drug coverage to her existing Medigap plan.
