How to use this guide
How to study AHIP Medicare + FWA
Build every answer around CMS-compliant conduct: know the Medicare program, confirm eligibility and enrollment timing, communicate accurately, market only within the rules, and report FWA concerns.
1. Identify the program rule
Decide whether the item is testing Original Medicare, MA, Part D, enrollment, marketing, or compliance.
2. Confirm beneficiary facts
Check eligibility, service area, providers, drugs, election period, representative authority, and stated needs.
3. Apply sales conduct limits
Use accurate approved information, required disclaimers, SOA, permission to contact, and current plan-year materials.
4. Report and document
For FWA, privacy, complaints, and oversight issues, document facts and report through required channels promptly.
Medicare Eligibility and Original Medicare Structure
Medicare basics questions test who qualifies, how Parts A and B work, and where Original Medicare coverage begins and ends.
Key rules
Rule 1
Medicare Eligibility and Original Medicare Structure questions reward the answer that follows the policy wording, license authority, and state-specific rule source.
Exam cue: Identify the line of authority, policy form, and governing state rule.
Rule 2
The strongest answer documents the decision path before promising coverage, placement, settlement, or compensation.
Exam cue: Check documentation, disclosure, timing, records, and fee or tax requirements.
Rule 3
Eliminate answers that ignore eligibility, disclosure, records, timing, taxes, conflicts, or unfair-practice constraints.
Exam cue: Choose the compliant answer before the fastest or most sales-oriented answer.

Memory anchors
Medicare Eligibility
Medicare generally serves people age 65 or older and certain younger people with disability, ESRD, or ALS eligibility.
Part A
Part A is hospital insurance and includes inpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility, hospice, and some home health coverage.
Part B
Part B is medical insurance and includes many physician, outpatient, preventive, durable medical equipment, and medically necessary services.
Original Medicare
Original Medicare is Parts A and B administered by the federal Medicare program, not a private Medicare Advantage plan.
Beneficiary Choice
A beneficiary can generally choose Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage path if eligibility and service-area rules are met.
Assignment
Assignment means a provider accepts the Medicare-approved amount as payment basis for covered services.
Medicare Card
A Medicare card shows coverage start dates for Part A and Part B and should be protected like other personal information.
Coverage Gap
Original Medicare does not cover every service or all out-of-pocket costs, so other coverage may matter.
Preventive Services
Many preventive services are covered by Medicare when eligibility, provider, and frequency requirements are met.
Rights And Protections
Medicare beneficiaries have rights to information, privacy, nondiscrimination, appeals, and access to covered services.
