Mr. Bickford did not quite qualify for the extra help low-income subsidy under the
Medicare Part D Prescription Drug program and he is wondering if there is any other
option he has for obtaining help with his considerable drug costs. What should you tell
him?
He could check with the manufacturers of his medications to see if they offer an
assistance program to help people with limited means obtain the medications they
need. Alternatively, he could check to see whether his state has a pharmacy assistance
program to help him with his expenses.
Mr. Lombardi is interested in a Medicare Advantage (MA) PPO plan that you represent.
It is one of three plans operated by the same organization in Mr. Lombardi's area. The
MA PPO plan does not include drug coverage, but the other two plans do. Mr. Lombardi
likes the PPO plan that does not include drug coverage and intends to obtain his drug
coverage through a stand-alone Medicare prescription drug plan. What should you tell
him about this situation?
He could enroll in one of the MA plans that include prescription drug coverage or a
Medigap plan and a stand-alone prescription drug plan, but he cannot enroll in the MA-
only PPO plan and a stand-alone prescription drug plan.
Mr. Torres has a small savings account. He would like to pay for his monthly Part D

used throughout the year.
Agent Jennings makes a presentation on Medicare advertised as an educational event.
Agent Jennings distributes materials that are solely educational in nature. However, she

activity at an event that has been advertised as educational?
Yes. When an event has been advertised as "educational," discussing plan-specific
premiums is impermissible.
Mrs. Mulcahy is concerned that she may not qualify for enrollment in a Medicare
prescription drug plan because, although she is entitled to Part A, she is not enrolled
under Medicare Part B. What should you tell her?

Medicare prescription drug plan. As long as Mrs. Mulcahy is entitled to Part A, she does
not need to enroll under Part B before enrolling in a prescription drug plan.
Mr. Jacob understands that there is a standard Medicare Part D prescription drug
benefit, but when he looks at information on various plans available in his area, he sees
, a wide range in what they charge for deductibles, premiums and cost sharing. How can
you explain this to him?
Medicare Part D drug plans may have different benefit structures, but on average, they
must all be at least as good as the standard model established by the government.
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?
Medicare is a program for people age 65 or older and those under age 65 with certain
disabilities, end stage renal disease or Lou Gehrig's disease, so she will be eligible for
Medicare.

Plan, a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan that offers plans in multiple states. XYZ Agency

plans via the website and tries to persuade them to enroll in ABC plans. What statement
best describes the marketing and compliance rules that apply to Agent Armstrong?

Part D plan in your state. You have completed the required training for each plan, but
you did not achieve a passing score on the tests that came after the training. What can
you do in this situation?

complete the training and achieve an adequate score, although you will not have to take
a test if you exclusively market employer/union group plans and the companies do not
require testing.

Advantage or Part D plan within 2 months of his disenrollment, but he should revaluate
if he really wants to drop his employer coverage.
