What is a DSNP program?

A DSNP, or Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan, is a type of Medicare Advantage plan designed specifically for individuals who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. These plans offer additional benefits and care coordination tailored to the needs of dual-eligible beneficiaries, such as help with prescription drugs, dental, vision, and hearing coverage. DSNPs aim to simplify healthcare by combining coverage and providing extra support, often at low or no cost, depending on your Medicaid status.
