How-To Enroll in a West Virginia Special Needs Plan

Most people living in West Virginia, age 65 and older, qualify for Medicare Advantage but do not qualify for a Special Needs Plan (SNP). A SNP is a Medicare Advantage plan, but they are only available to people with one of the following special needs:

  • Chronic Condition (C-SNP): You have one or more severe or disabling chronic conditions.
  • Institutional (I-SNP): You live in an institution (like a nursing home), or you require nursing care at home.
  • Dual Eligible (D-SNP): You have both Medicare and Medicaid.

If you qualify for Medicare but don't know where to begin, we have licensed agents[1] at 1-855-728-0510 (TTY 711) who can answer your questions and help you get enrolled. There's no obligation.

Each SNP limits membership to people in one of these groups or a subset of one of these groups. For instance, a SNP that's designed to serve people with congestive heart failure might include access to a network of healthcare providers who specialize in treating congestive heart failure. Such a plan would also feature clinical case management that's designed to serve people with this condition.

You can get enrolled three ways:

  1. Call a plan directly. If you know the plan you want, this way is quick and easy.
  2. 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.
  3. Use an independent West Virginia insurance agent. This is the best way to go if you need someone to help advise you.

Not Qualified to Enroll in a Special Needs Plan?

Special Needs Plan are not for everyone. Fortunately, there are other options to get additional coverage. Start here:

  • Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plans
  • Medicare Part D prescription drug plans
  • Medigap plans for supplemental insurance

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? These common questions and answers might help. Or, call 1-855-728-0510 (TTY 711) to speak with a licensed advisor.

What are the three types of Medicare special needs plans?

Medicare allows private health plans to offer three different types of Special Needs Plans. They include D-SNP plans for dual-eligible people. C-SNP plans for people with certain chronic illnesses. And I-SNP plans for institutionalized individuals.

Are SNP and D-SNP plans the same thing?

SNPs are Medicare Advantage private health plans that cater to individuals with special needs. There are three types of SNP plans: D-SNP for dual-eligible (Medicare or Medicaid) individuals; I-SNP plans to support people who are institutionalized or homebound; and C-SNP plans that support people with certain chronic conditions. Learn how to qualify.

What do Medicare Special Needs Plans cover in West Virginia?

Like all Medicare Advantage plans sold in West Virginia, Special Needs Plans (SNPs) must offer all of the same benefits found in Original Medicare. However, unlike regular Medicare Advantage plans, every SNP must include Part D benefits for prescriptions. Other plan benefits depend on the plan type. For example, most D-SNP plans coordinate Medicare and Medicaid benefits for dual-eligible plan members.
