Question

Mr. Greco is in excellent health, lives in his own home, and has a sizeable income from his investments. He has a friend enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan (SNP). His friend has mentioned that the SNP charges very low cost-sharing amounts and Mr. Greco would like to join that plan. What should you tell him?

Answer 1

Answer:

That he may not qualify for the SNP.

Explanation:

As Mr. Greco is in excellent health, lives in his own home, and has a sizeable income from his investments, he is unlikely to qualify for SNP, Special Needs Plan. The SNP has a limited membership. The people applying for the SNP have to meet eligibility requirements like specific diseases. Among the specific diseases, there is suffering from autoimmune disorders, cancer, diabetes, and chronic heart failure. He may also apply if he lives in a nursing home. As Mr. Greco is both in good health and lives in his own home and doesn't need special care he may not be eligible for the SNP.

Answer 2

Answer:

SNPs limit enrollment to certain sub-populations of beneficiaries. Given his current situation, he is unlikely to qualify and would not be able to enroll in the SNP. Correct
