This is part one of a two part series that provides an overview of state strategies for contracting with D-SNPs to improve care coordination and Medicare-Medicaid alignment for dually eligible enrollees. The webinars are especially helpful to state staff who are new to or seek a refresher on D-SNP contracting and working with Medicare plans.
Webinar 1: Introduction to D-SNPs and D-SNP Contracting Basics
Learning Objectives: By the end of this presentation, attendees should be able to describe:
- The different categories of dual eligibility and the ways in which enrolling different categories of dually eligible individuals into D-SNPs can impact a state’s ability to integrate Medicare and Medicaid benefits and streamline D-SNP enrollees’ experiences of care;
- What D-SNPs are and how they differ from regular Medicare Advantage plans;
- The basics of D-SNP contracting with states, including required minimum contract elements; and
- The differences between Coordination Only (CO) D-SNPs, Highly Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (HIDE SNPs), and Fully Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (FIDE SNPs).
