Which of the following is a best practice for Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) enrollments?

Making beneficiaries aware of out-of-network providers is a best practice for D-SNP enrollments because it ensures that beneficiaries are fully informed about their healthcare options. Dual eligible individuals often have unique needs and may benefit from understanding the limitations and possibilities that come with their plan options. By being informed about out-of-network providers, beneficiaries can make more educated decisions regarding their healthcare, especially if they have established relationships with out-of-network providers or if their specific healthcare needs are better met by those providers.

Additionally, awareness of out-of-network options allows beneficiaries to effectively navigate their plans and understand potential costs associated with seeking care outside of their plan's network. This empowers them to advocate for their health needs and encourages a more proactive approach to their healthcare management.

While the other options may involve elements of patient care and support, they do not align as closely with the best practices of ensuring beneficiaries are well-informed about both in-network and out-of-network provider choices.
