Both Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) and Medicare-Medicaid Plans (MMPs) are designed to make it easier for dual-eligible individuals to get care. These plans streamline access to care through Medicare and Medicaid. But there’s a key difference. With an MMP, all Medicare and Medicaid benefits are provided through 1 single health plan. With a D-SNP, members keep the same Medicaid plan and all the same Medicaid benefits as they get today. Plus, they have a separate Medicare Advantage plan that typically gives them more benefits and features than with Original Medicare. Another difference is that only people who are full dual eligible can enroll in an MMP, whereas it’s possible for both full and partial dual eligibles to get a D-SNP.
