Which statement is true about C-SNPs, D-SNPs, and prescription drug coverage?

• A. C-SNPs and D-SNPs exclude Part D prescription drug coverage.
• B. Part D is optional for SNPs.
• C. Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage is included in C-SNPs and D-SNPs.
• D. C-SNPs and D-SNPs do not cover drugs.

Answer: (C)

Special Needs Plans, whether C-SNPs for people with chronic conditions or D-SNPs for dual-eligible individuals, are typically offered as Medicare Advantage plans with integrated prescription drug coverage. This means Part D drug benefits are included as part of the SNP’s MA-PD package, providing a single plan that covers both medical and drug benefits. That integration simplifies coordination of care and cost sharing for members. It wouldn’t be accurate to say Part D is excluded, optional, or not provided, since these plans are designed to include prescription drug coverage.
