What is a Medicare Special Needs Plan?
A SNP is a kind of Medicare plan for people in unique situations. SNPs offer the same Medicare Parts A and B coverage you get with Medicare Advantage plans. This includes prescription drug coverage. Some may also cover special services the member needs because of their situation.
To qualify for SNPs, you must:
- Have Medicare Parts A and B
- Live in the area the plan serves
- Meet one of the following requirements:
You are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid
You have a qualifying chronic condition, like diabetes or heart disease
You need facility-level care, or you have lived for at least 90 days in a qualifying facility (places like nursing homes, rehabilitation hospitals and psychiatric hospitals)

There are three types of Special Needs Plans: Dual-Eligible SNP (D-SNP), Institutional SNP (I-SNP) and Chronic Condition SNP (C-SNP).
