While Louisiana Medicare Part D plans are the same throughout the state, the complexity of Medicare Special Needs Plans (SNPs) requires them to be localized. The primary reason for this is that each county has different healthcare providers, and the residents have different needs, so localized plans offer the best care. SNPs are similar to Medicare Advantage plans in Saint Martin Parish, LA, but they have different enrollment requirements.

The average Louisiana senior compares three or more plan options before making an enrollment decision.

How-To Join a Medicare Special Needs Plan in Saint Martin Parish

SNP plans are limited to those who qualify. To qualify as a special needs individual, you must meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • An institutionalized individual,
  • A dual-eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) person, or
  • An individual with a severe or disabling chronic condition.

If you qualify, you can join or switch plans during a Medicare Election Period. For most people, the Annual Election Period (AEP), which starts on 15 October and ends 7 December, is the time they update their enrollment.

You also have an Individual Election Period (IEP). Your IEP begins the month before your 65th birthday, includes your birth month, and continues the month after your birth month.

In addition to the periods outlined above, you may be able to join a SNP with a Special Election Period in certain situations. Situations that may qualify you for a Special Election Period include:

  • You are diagnosed with a severe or disabling condition: You can enroll in a Chronic-Condition Special Needs Plan (C-SNP) for beneficiaries with your illness at any time.
  • You move into a nursing home or require skilled nursing care at home: You can enroll in an Institution Special Needs Plan (I-SNP) or switch plans at any time.
  • You qualify for Medicaid: If you have Medicaid or are newly eligible for Medicaid, you can enroll in a Dual-Eligible Medicare Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) at any time.
  • You move outside of your existing Special Needs Plan’s service area: You'll qualify for a Special Election Period to switch to a new plan.
  • Your Special Needs Plan leaves the Medicare program: You'll qualify for a Special Election Period to switch plans.

There are three ways to enroll in an SNP:

  • Call our Trusted Partner at 1-855-266-4865. This toll-free number is staffed by HealthPlanOne, the outsourced partner of choice for some of the nation’s largest health plans.
  • Call a plan directly. If you know the plan you want, this way is quick and easy. All of our plan pages provide contact information.
  • Go to www.Medicare.gov and enroll through the government website. From there you can look up your medications, compare plans, and get your application started online.

Who is MedicareWire?
David Bynon
Chief Petty Officer David Bynon re-enlisting 15 September 2001.

Hello, my name is David Bynon.

I founded MedicareWire in 2011 after retiring from the Navy. I’ve made helping people like you my full-time retirement profession.

My goal is to help you see all the rates offered by insurance companies that sell Medigap policies in your area.

I am not an insurance agent.

My job is to make sure that you have the information you need to be comfortable with your plan decision. When it comes to choosing a Medigap plan, I want you to be able to see all rates and carriers before speaking with an agent.

To provide you with this free service, I need to ask you to provide your age, gender, zip code, and email address. I promise to keep your information secure. You can count on me not to share, sell, or otherwise divulge your information to anyone.

Yours in Better Medicare.

David Bynon
