Integrating Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan Materials to Promote Enrollee Understanding of and Access to Benefits
Download
Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) that operate with exclusively aligned enrollment and cover Medicaid benefits through the D-SNP or an affiliated Medicaid managed care plan – classified as applicable integrated plans (AIPs) – can provide their enrollees with a single set of fully integrated materials that describe both the Medicare and Medicaid benefits covered by the D-SNP (and its affiliated Medicaid plan, when applicable).
This tip sheet was created to help states work with their AIP D-SNPs to develop integrated materials for D-SNP enrollees. The tip sheet: (1) explains why states should work with AIP D-SNPs to integrate D-SNP materials; (2) describes the specific materials that can be integrated and the benefits of integrating them; (3) summarizes key steps in developing integrated D-SNP materials; and (4) highlights key considerations for states interested in requiring D-SNPs to use integrated materials.
