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 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.
