Yes, Dual Special Needs plans (D-SNPs) are network-based. These plans require members to get care and services from doctors or hospitals in their Medicare SNP network. SNP networks vary in size and the populations they serve. Types of networks include:
Networks covering a specified area. For example, one network may cover an entire state, while another network covers one county. Often, this means that an area might be served by more than one network.
Networks dealing with a certain health issue, such as dementia. Providers who provide services to patients with the specified condition can join the network.
