Ahip Module 3 Exam Questions and
Answers 2022/2023 (Answered)
Mr. Carlini has heard that Medicare prescription drug plans are only offered
through private companies under a program known as Medicare Advantage (MA),

for an MA product, but he also wants prescription drug coverage. What should
you tell him?

drug plan through a private company that has contracted with the government to
provide only such drug coverage to eligible Medicare beneficiaries. Correct

prescription drug plan because, although she is entitled to Part A, she is not
enrolled under Medicare Part B. What should you tell her?
a. Everyone who is entitled to Part A or enrolled under Part B is eligible to enroll in a
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. Correct
Mrs. Lopez is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage cost plan. She has recently lost
creditable coverage previously available through her husband's employer. She is
interested in enrolling in a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan (PDP). What
should you tell her?
b. If a Part D benefit is offered through her plan she may choose in enroll in that plan or
a standalone PDP. Correct
Which of the following statements about Medicare Part D are correct?
I. Part D plans must enroll any eligible beneficiary who applies regardless of
health status except in limited circumstances.
II. Private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans are not required to use a pharmacy
network but may choose to have one.
III. Beneficiaries enrolled in a MA-Medical Savings Account (MSA) plan may only
obtain Part D benefits through a standalone PDP.
IV. Beneficiaries enrolled in a MA-PPO may obtain Part D benefits through a
standalone PDP or through their plan.

All plans must cover at least the standard Part D coverage or its actuarial
equivalent. What costs would a beneficiary incur for prescription drugs in 2019
under the standard coverage?
, c. Standard Part D coverage would require payment of an annual deductible, 25% cost-
sharing up to the coverage gap, a portion of costs for both generics and brand-name
drugs in the coverage gap, and co-pays or co-insurance after the coverage gap. Correct
Mrs. Andrews was preparing a budget for next year because she takes quite a few
prescription drugs, she will reach the coverage gap, and wants to be sure she has
enough money set aside for those months. She received assistance calculating
her projected expenses from her daughter who is a pharmacist, but she doesn't
think the calculations are correct because her out-of-pocket expenses would be
lower than last year. She calls to ask if you can help. What might you tell her?
a. It would not be unusual for her costs to be a bit less because the Bipartisan Budget
Act of 2018 moved up the date for closing the so-called "donut hole" for brand name
drugs to 2019. Correct
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?
b. 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. Edwards is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan that includes prescription
drug plan (PDP) coverage. She is traveling and wishes to fill two of her
prescriptions that she has lost. How would you advise her?
d. She may fill prescriptions for covered drugs at non-network pharmacies, but likely at
a higher cost than paid at an in-network pharmacy. Correct
What types of tools can Medicare Part D prescription drug plans use that affect
the way their enrollees can access medications?
b. Part D plans do not have to cover all medications. As a result, their formularies, or
lists of covered drugs, will vary from plan to plan. In addition, they can use cost
containment techniques such as tiered co-payments and prior authorization. Correct
Mrs. Allen has a rare condition for which two different brand name drugs are the
only available treatment. She is concerned that since no generic prescription
drug is available and these drugs are very high cost, she will not be able to find a
Medicare Part D prescription drug plan that covers either one of them. What
should you tell her?
c. Medicare prescription drug plans are required to cover drugs in each therapeutic
category. She should be able to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan that covers
the medications she needs. Correct

Mr. Vaughn takes a prescription for helping to regrow his hair. They are anxious
