What must beneficiaries qualify for to enroll in a Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP)?

To enroll in a Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP), beneficiaries must qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. This type of plan is specifically designed to serve individuals who are eligible for both programs, providing them with coordinated care that addresses their unique healthcare needs.

Having eligibility for both Medicare and Medicaid allows beneficiaries to access a comprehensive range of benefits that may not be available through other types of healthcare plans. DSNPs offer a variety of services that cater to individuals who may have low income and complex medical conditions, ensuring that they receive the necessary support and resources.

In contrast, the other options focus on eligibility for only one program (Medicare or Medicaid) or suggest a different type of insurance, none of which meet the criteria for enrollment in a DSNP. Therefore, the requirement to qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid is what makes option C the accurate choice.
