More Coverage Under One Umbrella

What is a D-SNP?
D-SNP stands for Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan. It’s a special type of Medicare Advantage plan that provides more benefits and support than Original Medicare at no extra cost to individuals who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare. Our D-SNP plan is called Wellcare.

The Importance of D-SNP
The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are changing some rules around D-SNP. What is changing? By 2030, everyone must have the same company for both Medicaid and Medicare. This is called being fully aligned.
If you are already enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid, you have until 2030 to align your healthcare coverage and enroll in one company.
The purpose of this change is to improve integration, reduce fragmentation, and ensure unified appeals through aligned enrollment. While it may sound confusing, it will actually make things easier for you and your healthcare providers. Members will get benefits that work together. Your provider will be able to deliver a smoother experience.
