Which group has access to the Integrated Care Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) Special Election Period (SEP)?

The Integrated Care Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) Special Election Period (SEP) is specifically designed for full-benefit dual eligible individuals. These individuals are those who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning they receive full benefits from both programs.

The D-SNPs cater to the unique needs of people who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid by providing coordinated care and tailored services. Access to the Special Election Period allows these individuals a more flexible opportunity to enroll or make changes to their D-SNP coverage, ultimately improving their access to healthcare services.

Other groups mentioned in the options do not qualify for this Special Election Period because they either do not meet the criteria of being dual eligible or they have different eligibility requirements that do not pertain to the integrated care model specifically aimed at full-benefit dual eligible individuals.
