In case of any grievance, what should be confirmed prior to accepting a beneficiary’s enrollment application?

The correct response to the question regarding grievances and the steps to confirm prior to accepting a beneficiary's enrollment application focuses on ensuring that a beneficiary truly intends to enroll. Confirming a beneficiary's intent to enroll is essential because it establishes that the individual is making a deliberate decision to join the plan, rather than being subject to external pressures or misunderstandings. This consideration helps protect the rights of the beneficiary and ensures that their enrollment aligns with their personal health care needs and preferences.

Validation of intent also plays a critical role in the enrollment process, particularly in situations where grievances may arise. It allows the organization to maintain compliance with relevant regulations and ensures that beneficiaries have all necessary information to make informed choices. Ensuring the beneficiary understands and intends to commit to the plan helps mitigate potential disputes later in the process.

The other choices focus on different aspects related to enrollment but do not serve as a fundamental confirmation of intent. While the availability of providers, cost of premiums, or willingness to change plans are important factors in the decision-making process, they are secondary to confirming the beneficiary's commitment to join the program.
