What does a Medicare Special Needs Plan (SNP) cover?

A Medicare SNP is a type of Medicare Advantage Plan that specifies the insured’s coverage to their selection of care for particular diseases and medical needs. Your plan’s benefits, then, are tailored exactly to you.

• Chronic Condition SNP (C-SNP), including diabetes mellitus and chronic heart failure or cardiovascular disorders, strokes, etc.
• Dual Eligible SNP (D-SNP), including full Medicaid, Specified Low-Income Beneficiary without other Medicaid, Qualifying Individual, etc.
