When applying for an Institutional Special Needs Plan (I-SNP), certain documents are required to establish eligibility and enrollment. A copy of a recent prescription list, while it may provide helpful information regarding a consumer's medication needs, is not a necessary document for the application process. The primary focus for an I-SNP application is to confirm the individual’s enrollment in a qualifying facility and their level of care, which is comprehensively addressed through other required documents.

The approved letter on facility letterhead serves to verify that the individual is residing in a qualifying institutional setting, and the completed enrollment application form is essential for initiating the enrollment process with the plan. Similarly, the Nursing Home Level of Care assessment is crucial for identifying the specific needs and eligibility of the applicant for the I-SNP. Together, these documents establish the consumer's qualifications, ensuring they meet the criteria for special needs consideration. Thus, the prescription list does not fulfill a critical role in the fundamental requirements for I-SNP enrollment.
