A Medicare Advantage Dual plan is a type of Medicare Advantage plan that is specifically designed for people who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. These plans are also known as "dual eligible special needs plans" or "SNPs".
Medicare Advantage Dual plans are required to provide the same level of hospital and medical coverage as Original Medicare (Medicare Part A and Part B), but they may also offer additional benefits such as coverage for prescription drugs, vision, hearing, and dental services. These plans are typically offered by private insurance companies that contract with Medicare to provide these benefits to eligible beneficiaries.
Medicare Advantage Dual plans are available to people who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid due to a disability, being aged 65 or older, or having end-stage renal disease (ESRD). These plans are designed to provide coordinated care and additional benefits to help meet the needs of dual eligible beneficiaries.
