What Are D-SNPs and Who Are Qualified to Get It?

- What Are D-SNPs?

- Who Qualifies for D-SNPs?

Dual eligible special needs plans (D-SNPs) are Medicare Advantage plans designed to meet the specific needs of a dually eligible beneficiary. It goes beyond the scope of coverage of either the Original Medicare Insurance or Medicaid plans, offering policyholders extra benefits at no extra cost.

A few of the “extra benefits” that beneficiaries may enjoy include the following:

  • Care coordination
  • $0 monthly premiums
  • Over-the-counter quarterly benefits
  • Dental, vision, and hearing benefits
  • Transportation benefits
  • Gym memberships
  • Telehealth services

Who Qualifies for D-SNPs?

Anyone of any age is eligible for D-SNPs, so long as they qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid in their state.

Medicare requires the policyholder to be at least 65 years old or older or have a qualifying disability to be covered by their services. On the other hand, Medicaid requires that an individual’s income and asset level should fall below certain state-determined thresholds to qualify for any coverage.
