Coordination of Benefits with Medicare
This course explains how and when Medicare coordinates claims payments when a person with Medicare has other insurance.
Medicare & Medicaid Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Prevention
You'll learn how to prevent, spot, and report suspected fraud, waste, or abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid Programs.
Medicare Advantage
You'll get answers to common questions about Medicare Advantage Plans along with resources and job aids to help as you counsel people with Medicare. Topics include enrollment considerations, coverage, claims, and how these plans differ from Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policies.
Medicare enrollment: People with disabilities
You'll learn about enrollment and coverage considerations for people with disabilities who are under 65 and what their options will be when they turn 65.
Medicare & Tax-Favored Health Programs
You'll learn the basics about what tax-favored health programs are and what you need to know, as you counsel people with Medicare to help them avoid possible penalties.
Medicare enrollment: U.S. citizens living abroad
You'll learn about enrollment considerations for U.S. citizens who live abroad, or plan to live abroad, understand if and when they can enroll in Medicare, how to enroll, and how their decisions can affect coverage and costs.
Immigrants and Medicare
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.
Automatic enrollment: Part A / B
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.
Still working: Medigap, Part D / C
If you delayed enrollment in Medicare because you were still working at age 65 and you aren't getting Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, you should be aware of how that decision can impact your enrollment and timing for Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap), Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D), and Medicare Advantage (Part C).
Still working: Part A / B
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.
