Helping states develop integrated programs for individuals who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid
Published
This webinar describes the opportunity for states to require Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) that operate with exclusively aligned enrollment to establish contracts with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that only include one or more D-SNPs within a state and integrate certain materials for enrollees.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this presentation, attendees should be able to:
- Identify the policy conditions that allow states to require D-SNP-only contracts;
- Identify how D-SNP-only contracts can benefit states, D-SNP enrollees, and D-SNPs;
- Explain the key steps that states and D-SNPs need to take to implement D-SNP-only contracts; and
- Describe the timeline for implementing D-SNP-only contracts for 2026.
