  • Dual Eligibles: Understanding What Happens When a Person with I/DD Who Receives Medicaid Becomes Eligible for Medicare
    Mainstreaming Medical Care Program ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Advocating for quality health care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities Frequently Asked Questions on Dual Eligibles: Understanding what happens when a person with I/DD who receives Medicaid becomes eligible for Medicare Dual Eligibles and Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) 1. Q: What is a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP)? A: A D-SNP is a Medicare managed care plan, specifically for individuals who receive both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligibles). When persons with I/DD are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, they will probably receive letters or phone calls from their Medicaid managed care organization discussing the benefits of enrolling in a D-SNP. It should be noted that D-SNPs are sometimes referred to as FIDE SNPs- Fully Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans. There are several important things to know about D-SNP enrollment: Enrollment in a D-SNP is voluntary, and is not required. When an individual enrolls voluntarily in a D-SNP, he/she is required to use only the health care providers and services – including the drug plan -- that are affiliated with that D-SNP. Therefore, before enrolling in a D-SNP, check carefully to be certain that the doctors, hospitals, labs, and pharmacies that the individual wants to continue to use are affiliated with that D-SNP. This includes being certain that the medications that were covered in the Part D drug plan will be covered in the D-SNP’s formulary. After enrolling in a D-SNP, if an individual is treated by an out-of-network provider, the individual will receive a bill for the full cost of that service -- and neither Medicare nor Medicaid will cover that cost.
