Which of the following statements about D-SNP is correct?

The statement indicating that plans are limited to beneficiaries who receive Medicaid is correct. Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) are specifically designed for individuals who are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. These plans cater to the unique needs of this particular population by providing tailored benefits that address both Medicare and Medicaid requirements.

This specificity ensures that D-SNPs focus on beneficiaries who require additional support due to their dual eligibility, allowing for more comprehensive care management, including assistance with social services and healthcare needs that may be more complex compared to those of individuals who are solely on Medicare or Medicaid alone.

The other statements do not accurately represent the nature of D-SNPs. Some individuals may benefit from Medicaid without being eligible for D-SNPs. Also, D-SNPs serve not only those over 65; they also include younger individuals with disabilities. Lastly, eligibility for D-SNPs does vary based on Medicaid criteria and levels of support needed, emphasizing the tailored approach that D-SNPs offer.
