Special Needs Plans Background Under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 the U.S. Congress developed the Special Needs Plan (SNP), as part of the requirements for the Medicare Advantages (MA). Dual elegible (D-SNP) Chronic (C-SNP) Institucionalized (I-SNP) Under the 2012 Affordable Care Act, which amended Section 1859(f) of the Social Security Act Requiered that all SNPs must be approved by NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) CMS requires that all Medicare Advantage with D-SNP develop a Model of Care for its members with special needs to satisfy their health needs and improve their quality of life. 3
Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) Definition: Health plan for people who are eligible to receive benefits from Medicare Parts A and B, and Medicaid. Medicare A + B D- SNP Medicaid MCS has a contract with Medicare and can offer Classicare Platino products to their dual elegible beneficiaries. 4
Model of Care (MOC) The MOC is a vital Quality Improvement tool and an integral component to ensure that the unique needs of each enrolled beneficiary are identified and addressed. MOCs provide the needed infrastructure to promote quality, care management and care coordination processes for SNPs members. The MCS Quality Department Is responsible for overseeing, monitoring, and evaluating actions related to MOC. 5

Health Risk Evaluation - CHRA Needs that are identified in the CHRA and determine health risk level Physical Health Risk Level Logic Cognitive Psychosocial Health Risk *Score CHRA Severe >= 65 Moderate > 20 a < 65 Low <= 20 *Each section of CHRA has a weigth assigned and the sum of each of them leads to a final score Mental Health Functional 11
MOC 2: Care Coordination Individual Care Plans The development of Care Plans is assigned to a team of interdisciplinary care according to the member health risk level identified in the CHRA. Interdisciplinary Care Team Standard Members Health Risk Level Low Individual Care Plan Members Health Risk Level Moderate Interdisciplinary Care Team Complex Care Management Unit Members Health Risk Level Severe (Most vulnerable population ) 12
