When it comes to Medicare Advantage, most people have heard of HMOs and PPOs, but other types of Medicare Advantage plans are also available. One of these plans is a type of Special Needs Plan known as the Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP).
Is this type of Special Needs Plan the right choice for you? It’s possible, but it depends on your specific situation. Want to learn more? Continue reading to determine your eligibility for a D-SNP.
What Are D-SNPs?
This type of policy is intended for those that qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Taking advantage of these health insurance options is an excellent way to make sure that you’re saving money on medical care and not spending where it’s not necessary.
D-SNPs, like all other Medicare Advantage plans, are also required to provide you with the same coverage provided by Original Medicare. They can even provide you with additional coverage, like:
- Transportation for doctor visits
- Ambulance services
- Dental, vision, and hearing coverage
- Prescription drug coverage (all SNPs are required to provide drug coverage)
- Fitness memberships
- Wellness programs
- And more!
Is A D-SNP Right For You?
Dual enrollment is one of the best ways to use all of your resources to their full extent. They allow beneficiaries to have health insurance coverage from two different sources, which expands their policy options and allows them to pay even less when they do need medical care.
