Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP)

Have Medicare and Medicaid? You may qualify for a dual special needs Medicare Advantage plan that may offer a robust suite of benefits designed for those that require extra care.

Is a Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP) the best option for me, and am I eligible?

A DSNP may be the best option for you if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid and reside in a county that the plans are available. Although, keep in mind, Medicaid qualifications can vary state-by-state, so you may not be eligible even if you’re low income. There is potential eligibility for some who are younger than 65. Plus, you may qualify even if you have assets such as owning a car or a home.

What is DSNP and how does it work?

Medicare Advantage (MA) Dual Special Needs Plans (DSNPs) can simplify your health care process by coordinating benefits between Medicare and Medicaid. The plans are not offered in every state, and coverages provided can vary. Here are some of the benefits associated with a DSNP:

Flexibility

Many different benefit packages are available, which allows the plans to be customized for varying levels of need.

Costs

DSNPs may eliminate many out-of-pocket costs, such as coinsurance, deductibles, and copays. Plus, they also provide Medicare Part D (prescription drug) coverage.

Eligibility

A DSNP can offer eligibility for a wide range of folks, from people who are partially dual eligible to those needing Long-Term Services and Supports.

Additional Full or Partial Coverage

Dental and vision care, hearing aids and fittings, gym memberships (Silver Sneakers), acupuncture, over-the-counter medications, non-emergency transportation, home meal delivery, grocery supplements and support services.
