b. She is considering enrollment in a medicare health plan (part c). What should you advise her to do before she will be able to enroll into a medicare health plan

Answer 1

Mrs. needs to enroll in medicare part B. To join medicare helth plan.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all to understand this answer we need to remember the mechanic of medicare. Medicare is a whole system, process, and services. So, if we only are part of one, we won't be able to be fully covered. This is the case of Mrs. Kelly, she is only entitled to part a which is only hospital coverage and attention. For her to be considered a Medicare health plan enrolled member, she needs also to be entitled in part b which is medical coverage. So, we don't only need the ultimate emergency level but also the ultimate medical attention level. Otherwise, medicare would be incomplete.

Answer 2

Medicare refers to a program for the individuals of and above the age of 65 with certain disabilities and diseases. Medicare the FFS scheme, that is, Fee-for-Service covers two parts, Part A and Part B.

Part A covers skilled nursing facility, hospital, hospice, and home health services. Part B covers professional services like those provided by a doctor. In the given case, Kelly is entitled to Part A, but not to Part B. Thus, in order to join a Medicare health plan, she also must enroll in Part B.
