Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans
Medicare Advantage Plans Tailored for Special Needs
Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs) cater to individuals with distinct healthcare requirements. To qualify for these plans, one must be enrolled in both Medicare Parts A and B and meet specific criteria set by the plan.
Exploring Different Types of Special Needs Plans
Three distinct categories of SNPs are available:
Chronic-Condition SNP (C-SNP): Designed for beneficiaries with severe chronic conditions such as heart disorders, cancer, or HIV/AIDS.
Dual-Eligible SNP (D-SNP): Aimed at individuals receiving both Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
Institutional SNP (I-SNP): Suitable for those living in institutions like nursing homes or requiring in-home nursing care.
Determining eligibility and getting more information is straightforward with the assistance of our licensed Medicare insurance agents, who offer free consultations and quotes.
