Question

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

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.
