This recording is Day 2 of 2 of the Understanding Medicare
series. It explains Medicare drug coverage (Part D); Medicare Advantage Plans;
coordination of benefits; how to detect and report suspected Medicare fraud,
waste, and abuse; and different resources to help you find answers to Medicare
policy and coverage questions.

You'll learn when non-United States (U.S.) citizens, who move from other countries to the U.S. may qualify to get Medicare coverage. Timing of enrollment depends on their permanent resident status and how long they've lived in the U.S. It's important to understand how these elements can impact someone's eligibility and timing for Medicare.

Even if you have coverage through current employment, you may still need to make some important Medicare enrollment decisions about Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). It's important to understand how your current coverage works with Medicare before making any enrollment decisions.

You'll learn when Medicare enrollment is automatic. In the past, typical ages for Medicare and Social Security benefits enrollment were the same. Now, that has changed. This is why people don't always know they may need to take an action to get Medicare, or if they can expect to be automatically enrolled. You'll help people who are eligible for enrollment know if it'll be automatic for them, and inform them about the decisions they may need to make based on their circumstances.
