Which document ensures that verbal enrollment acknowledgment includes plan and disclosures?

• A. Enrollment Confirmation
• B. Scope of Appointment
• C. Statement of Understanding
• D. Beneficiary Disclosure

Answer: (C)

When a beneficiary enrolls verbally, you need a record that shows they were informed about the plan and all required disclosures and that they understood them. The Statement of Understanding is the document designed to capture that acknowledgement, documenting the plan details, the disclosures provided, and the beneficiary’s understanding and consent. This creates evidence that the agent explained the costs, benefits, limitations, and rights, and that the beneficiary knowingly agreed. The other documents serve different functions: Enrollment Confirmation notes that enrollment occurred, Scope of Appointment records who the beneficiary allowed you to discuss plan options with, and Beneficiary Disclosure isn’t the standard form used to capture verbal enrollment and disclosures.
