Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans—What Advocates Need to Know
Due to popular demand, we will be re-presenting this webinar from last month in order to accommodate those who couldn’t attend. Please be sure to log on early to ensure your spot in the live webinar. All registrants will be able to view the recorded version after the presentation. There will be a live ASL interpreter on this webinar.
Almost three million individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligibles) are enrolled in Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) and that enrollment is expected to rapidly rise. Increasingly, states are focusing on D-SNPs as a primary vehicle for integrating care and improving coordination of services for their dual eligible populations. Yet many advocates know little about what D-SNPs are, what makes them unique, and how they operate.
Join Justice in Aging for this webinar, D-SNPs: What Advocates Need to Know.
We will:
• Explain the basics of D-SNPs—what they are, their structure, and how they are regulated
• Identify specific areas where advocates can engage with their states to ensure that D-SNPs work effectively to coordinate care and benefits for dual eligibles
• Present strategies for centering equity in the design of D-SNPs
• Summarize changes that CMS is proposing in D-SNP regulation
