What are Special Needs Plans?
Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are a type of Medicare Advantage Plan that provide additional coordinated, specialized care for the most vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries. There are three different types of SNPs:
- C-SNPs – for those with chronic conditions such as dementia, diabetes or stroke
- D-SNPs – for those who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligible) and generally live in the community.
- I-SNPs – for those who are in institutions such as nursing homes, or who are eligible for institutional care
- Institutional Equivalent (IE) SNP – you live at home and the state you reside in has certified that you need the type of care that is usually provided in a nursing home
