What You Should Know About SNP Plans in Nye County
To enroll in a Special Needs Plan you will need to show you have one or more special needs, including:
- An institutionalized individual,
- A dual-eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) person, or
- An individual with a severe or disabling chronic condition.
Not all Medicare Special Needs Plans are the same. There are three different types:
When to Enroll in a Special Needs Plan
If you qualify, you can join or switch plans during a Medicare Election Period. For most people living in Nye County, the Annual Election Period (AEP), which starts on October 15th and ends on December 7th, is the time they update their enrollment.
- D-SNP plans are for individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual-eligible).
- I-SNP plans are for people who are institutionalized and live in long-term care or skilled nursing facility.
- C-SNP plans are for people with one or more chronic conditions, including diabetes, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), lung conditions, or heart disease.
All plans are not available in all areas.
Most of us also get an Individual Election Period (IEP), but it only comes around once. Your IEP is based on your 65th birthday. It starts three months before your birth month and ends three months after, so you have plenty of time. Qualifying beneficiaries can enroll in an SNP during their IEP.
You may also qualify for a Special Election Period in certain situations, including:
