Health Plan Compatibility
Medicare Advantage Special Need Plans are not compatible with most other forms of health insurance. If you have Medicare Part A and/or Medicare Part B and join a SNP plan, you will be disenrolled from Original Medicare. You cannot simultaneously enroll in an SNP plan and Medicare Supplement Insurance.
With a D-SNP, members keep the same Medicaid plan and Medicaid benefits. If you are a Veteran and have VA Health Benefits, you may be able to care from your local VA hospital.
