Personalized care

Improving lives with SNPs

A Special Needs Plan (SNP) is a type of Medicare Advantage plan that combines all the benefits of Original Medicare (Parts A and B) with prescription drug coverage (Part D). There are 3 types of SNPs, including Chronic Special Needs Plans (C-SNPs), Institutional Special Needs Plans (I-SNPs), and Dual-eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), all designed to meet different types of special needs. SNPs are only available to people who have an additional qualifying condition, are a resident of a participating long-term care facility or are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. Read on to learn about the unique support and care each plan offers members.
