Which statement describes a Medicare Advantage eligibility condition?

• A. You are entitled to Part A, live in the service area, and are enrolled in Part B.
• B. You are enrolled in Part C.
• C. You are enrolled in Part A only.
• D. You live outside the service area.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that Medicare Advantage eligibility requires having both Medicare parts A and B and living in the plan’s service area. To join a Medicare Advantage plan, you must be entitled to Part A and be enrolled in Part B, which shows you have hospital and medical coverage under Original Medicare, and you must reside where the plan operates. Being enrolled in Part C isn’t a prerequisite—it’s the type of plan you enroll in instead of Original Medicare. Being enrolled in Part A only isn’t enough because Part B is also required. And living outside the service area makes you ineligible for that MA plan, since the plan can only serve residents within its defined area.
