Which requirement must agents meet when selling DSNPs?

When selling Dual Special Needs Plans (DSNPs), agents are required to confirm the consumer's Medicaid level and Medicare Part A enrollment. This is crucial because DSNPs are specifically designed for individuals who are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. The enrollment in Medicare Part A is a fundamental criterion for qualifying for these plans. Thus, agents must verify that potential enrollees meet these requirements to ensure they are eligible for the benefits provided by DSNPs.

This process not only helps in determining the appropriate coverage for the individual but also ensures compliance with Medicare regulations. By confirming the consumer’s Medicaid status and Part A enrollment, agents help ensure that the plans are tailored to meet the healthcare needs of those with dual eligibility. This eligibility determination is foundational to the sales process for DSNPs, guiding agents in providing the right options to prospective members.
