Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs)

Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) are healthcare plans designed specifically for individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, often due to age or disability. These plans provide comprehensive coverage that addresses the unique needs of dual eligible beneficiaries, including medical services, medications, and long-term care. By coordinating benefits between Medicare and Medicaid, D-SNPs aim to simplify access to healthcare and improve overall health outcomes for those with complex medical conditions or lower incomes. They help bridge gaps in coverage and ensure that individuals receive the necessary support and care.
