Which statement accurately states a PDP eligibility requirement?

• A. You must have Part A or Part B
• B. You must live outside the service area
• C. You must have Part A or Part B and live in the service area
• D. You must enroll in Part C

Answer: (C)

Eligibility for a Prescription Drug Plan comes from being entitled to Medicare Part A or enrolled in Part B and living in the plan’s service area. The service area is essential because PDPs operate only in specific geographic regions, so you must reside there to enroll. Part C enrollment isn’t required for a PDP, and you don’t have to move or be outside the area—the plan simply won’t be available if you aren’t in its service area. So the correct statement is that you must have Part A or Part B and live in the service area.
