Which of the following statements is true about eligibility requirements for stand-alone Medicare Prescription Drug Plans?

The statement about eligibility requirements for stand-alone Medicare Prescription Drug Plans is true because a consumer needs to be entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B to qualify for these plans. This means that individuals who are in the process of becoming eligible for Medicare, or who qualify based on specific criteria such as age or disability status, can access these prescription drug benefits regardless of whether they hold both parts.

Having either Part A, which covers hospital insurance, or Part B, which includes medical insurance, is sufficient for enrollment in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. This flexibility allows individuals who may qualify for one part of Medicare but not the other to still obtain necessary prescription drug coverage.

Age-based requirements, like being over the age of 65, while common for Medicare eligibility, are not a strict condition for obtaining these particular plans, as younger individuals with disabilities may also qualify. Similarly, residency requirements pertain to different aspects of Medicare enrollment and are not tied to a specific duration of living in the U.S.
