Answer:

a. Lexington can allow for Mr. Wilcox’s continued enrolment for up to 12 months whether or not he is in a visitor/traveller (V/T) program.

Step-by-step explanation:

Private - Fee - For - Similar Plans is much similar like the original medicare plans. This is provided through a private health insurance company.

In the given instance, Mr. Wilcox plans to relocate near his children, who live in some other state.

As he will move to another service area, he shall simply not be disabled to claim the benefits of PFFS. Further, the insurance company can still cover him for another 12 months, even if he does not choose to visit the current service area as traveller in upcoming 12 months.
