Special needs plans 34
Medicare Advantage plans built for people with particular needs, and open only to people who have them. If one of the three below describes you, these are often worth a look before a general plan. Each row says who can join.
Who special needs plans are for
- D-SNP: you have Medicaid as well as Medicare (sometimes called "dual eligible" or "Medi-Medi").
- C-SNP: you have a chronic condition the plan is built around, such as diabetes, heart failure, chronic lung disease or dementia. The plan checks with your doctor.
- I-SNP: you live in a nursing home or similar facility, or need that level of care at home.
Why people choose them
- Care built around you. Most assign a care coordinator, and many run clinical programs for the condition they serve: diabetes education and supplies, heart or lung monitoring, medication reviews, or doctors who visit you in a facility.
- Often more generous extras. Many offer larger allowances than general plans for groceries, over-the-counter items, transportation, meals or utilities. Compare the figures; they vary widely from plan to plan.
- Lower costs for many members. With full Medicaid, a D-SNP member usually pays nothing for care Medicare covers.
The catch: you have to qualify, and the plan will check, for example your Medicaid status or a doctor's confirmation of your condition. If you're not sure, your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) gives free, unbiased advice.

Medicare Advantage plans without drug coverage 10
Medical coverage only. These suit people who get their drugs elsewhere, such as from the VA or an employer, since you generally can't add a separate Part D plan to them.

- Plan G: $138–$1,012/mo from 38 companies, at age 65.
- Plan N: $115–$862/mo from 37 companies, at age 65.
