Health Plan Compatibility

Special Needs Plans (SNPs) under Medicare Advantage typically do not work with other types of health insurance. If you have Medicare Part A or Part B and decide to join an SNP plan, you will be removed from Original Medicare. Furthermore, you cannot be enrolled in an SNP plan and hold a Medigap Insurance policy at the same time.

With a D-SNP, members retain their existing Medicaid plan and benefits. Veterans who have VA Health Benefits may also be able to receive care at their local VA hospital.
