Which of the following is a Part C plan type?

• A. Local Coordinated Care Provider
• B. Regional PPOs—26 regions
• C. Private Fee for Service
• D. Special Needs Plans—Medicare & Medicaid eligible

Answer: (D)

Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) come in several specialized formats. Special Needs Plans are a type of Medicare Advantage plan specifically designed for people with special needs, such as those who are dual eligibles (Medicare and Medicaid) or have particular chronic conditions or institutional living arrangements. These plans coordinate care and often integrate Medicaid benefits for dual eligibles, which makes them a clearly defined Part C plan type.

The other options describe different provider arrangements or plan structures, but they do not represent the specialized SNP category within Part C.
