Which document is used to confirm the details of a telephonic enrollment and its disclosures after the call?

• A. Scope of Appointment
• B. Enrollment Application
• C. Plan Summary
• D. Statement of Understanding

Answer: (D)

Understanding what the caller was told and agreeing to it is documented with a Statement of Understanding. This form is used after a telephonic enrollment to confirm that the agent provided all required disclosures and that the beneficiary understood them before proceeding. It serves as a records-based assurance that the call complied with CMS disclosure rules and that the consumer knowingly enrolled or agreed to enroll in the plan. The other documents have different roles. The Scope of Appointment is the pre-call or during-call document that specifies what topics or product types can be discussed, preventing conversations outside the agreed scope. An Enrollment Application is the official submission used to enroll the member in a plan and captures their information and chosen plan, but it does not certify that the disclosures were understood or that the call’s details were confirmed. The Plan Summary provides plan features and costs for comparison, but it is not the post-call acknowledgment of disclosures.
