What You Should Know About SNP Plans in Lyon County

SNP plan enrollment is strictly limited. Enrollees must demonstrate qualification through one or more of three criteria:

Medicare SNP Enrollment

For those who qualify there are several different Medicare Election Periods. This is when you can join or change your plan. Most Lyon County residents wait until 15 October to 7 December to make enrollment changes. This is the Annual Election Period (AEP).

  1. D-SNP plans are for individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual-eligible).
  2. I-SNP plans are for people who are institutionalized and live in long-term care or skilled nursing facility.
  3. C-SNP plans are for people with one or more chronic conditions, including diabetes, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), lung conditions, or heart disease.
