Question

Mr. Shultz was still working when he first qualified for Medicare. At that time, he had employer group coverage that was creditable. During his initial Part D eligibility period, he decided not to enroll because he was satisfied with his drug coverage. It is now a year later and Mr. Shultz has lost his employer group coverage within the last two weeks. How would you advise him?

Answer 1

Mr. Schultz should enroll in a part D plan before he has 63-day break in coverage in order to avoid a premium penalty.

Step-by-step explanation:

It has a 63-day window to enroll in the Part D plans without a penalty.
