Mr. Zachow has a condition for which three drugs are available. He has tried two but had an allergic
reaction to them. Only the third drug works for him and it is not on his Part D plan's formulary. What
could you tell him to do? - ✔✔Mr. Zachow has a right to request a formulary exception to obtain

two doctors who aren't participating providers. He wants to know if the Point of Service (POS) option
available with some HMOs will be of any help in this situation. What should you tell him? - ✔✔The POS
option might be a good solution for him as it will allow him to visit out-of-network providers, generally
without prior approval. However, he should be aware that it is likely he will have to pay higher cost-
sharing for services from out-of-network providers.

limit that included a number of services and items he thought would be fully covered. He called you to
ask what he could do? What could you tell him? - ✔✔You can offer to review the plans appeal process to
help him ask the plan to review the coverage decision.

interested in that product. She wants to be sure she also has coverage for prescription drugs. Would she
be able to obtain drug coverage if she enrolled in the SNP? - ✔✔a. Yes. All SNPs are required to provide
Part D coverage for prescription drugs.
b. Yes, but only if she qualifies for Part D prescription drug coverage under her state Medicaid program.
c. No. Medicare beneficiaries who enroll in an SNP must always obtain their drug coverage through a

enrollment in the SNP.

priced drugs before trying a more expensive drug when all are used to treat the same condition.
Mr. Gomez notes that a Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) plan available in his area has an attractive
premium. He wants to know if he must use doctors in a network as his current HMO plan requires him to
do. What should you tell him? - ✔✔He may receive health care services from ANY doctor allowed to bill
