Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs)

In this webinar, ICRC team members explain how exclusively aligned enrollment (EAE) promotes integration of Medicare and Medicaid benefits for dually eligible individuals enrolled in Medicare Advantage Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), describe three models that states can use to achieve exclusively aligned enrollment in D-SNPs, and outline key considerations and steps for states in designing and implementing exclusively aligned enrollment.

Learning Objectives: By the end of this presentation, attendees should be able to:

This webinar will discuss strategies states can use to improve care coordination for D-SNP enrollees. It provides an overview of federal D-SNP care coordination and Model of Care (MOC) requirements, describes state options for incorporating care coordination requirements into state Medicaid agency contracts (SMACs) with D-SNPs, and/or requiring D-SNPs to incorporate state-specific information into MOCs, and discusses key considerations for states when implementing state-specific care coordination requirements.

This is part two a two-part Integrated Care Resource Center (ICRC) Working with Medicare webinar on Medicare 201 held on March 25, 2021.
