A. Exclude pre-existing conditions from coverage under the supplement policies
B. Look at the applicant's medical history to decide what premium to charge
C. Send the applicant to a doctor for a physical. Nothing can happen until they get the results.
D. Offer the supplement policy on a guaranteed issue basis

Answer 1

D, Offer the supplement policy on a guaranteed issue basis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the applicant has enrolled in both Medicare part A and B, the insurance has nothing more to do than offer the supplementary policy requested by the applicant.

Medicare is an important enrollment for person that have attained the age of 65. It is is a scheme that helps people of that age and above with their medical bills from there on. It is divided into Parts A and B and it is mandatory at the age of 65 that an individual enrols for medicare Part A irrespective of whether the individual is working or not or has an existing health plan from the employer. Part B on the other hand is important to enhance Part A but could be waived or stopped as decided for reasons best known to the individual.
