Health Plan Compatibility
Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are generally incompatible with most other health insurance options. Enrolling in an SNP plan while having Medicare Part A and/or Medicare Part B will result in disenrollment from Original Medicare. Additionally, it is not possible to simultaneously hold a Medicare Supplement Insurance policy and be part of an SNP plan.
Members of a D-SNP maintain their current Medicaid plan and Medicaid benefits. Veterans with VA Health Benefits might have the option to receive care at a nearby VA hospital.
