Mrs. Reynolds is in her Medicare initial coverage election period (ICEP) and the date of her entitlement to Part A and B has already occurred. Mrs. Reynolds has just signed up for a Medicare Advantage plan on the second of the month. She is leaving for vacation in two weeks and wants to know if her new coverage will start before she leaves. What should you tell her?

Answer 1

Explanation:

a. Typically, her coverage would begin on the first day of the next month, so she should not expect her coverage to begin before she leaves.

b. Typically, her coverage would begin 30 days after she submits the application form, so she should not expect the coverage to begin until after she leaves.

c. Coverage always begins on the first of July, or the first of January after a beneficiary enrolls, whichever comes first.

d. Typically, coverage is effective on the date that the beneficiary completes the application form, so her coverage will be in place before she leaves

Answer 2

A. She shouldn't expect her coverage to begin before she leaves the company, as her coverage usually begins on the first day of the following month.

b. Normally, her coverage starts 30 days after you submit her application, so you shouldn't expect it to start before your departure.

c. Coverage always begins on July 1st or January 1st, whichever comes first, after the beneficiary has registered.

d. Compensation usually begins on the day the beneficiary fills out the application, so compensation is provided prior to departure.
