Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are Medicare Advantage plans created for specific groups of people.
There are several types of SNPs, including plans for individuals who:
- Have both Medicare and Medicaid
- Live in certain care facilities
- Have certain qualifying chronic health conditions
These plans often coordinate care more closely and may offer benefits designed specifically for the people they serve.
Eligibility requirements vary depending on the type of Special Needs Plan.
Not every area offers every SNP, so availability depends on where you live.
If you've recently been diagnosed with certain chronic conditions or qualify for Medicaid, it may be worth reviewing whether a Special Needs Plan is available in your county.
