Medicare Advantage Other Medicare Plans September, 2015 Types of SNPs SNPs may be any type of Medicare Advantage Coordinated Care Plan, including local or regional preferred provider organization (PPO) plan. 3 common types of SNPs: Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs) Dual Eligible SNPs (D-SNPs) Institutional SNPs (I-SNPs) 2 Financial Alignment: Medicare and Medicaid Longstanding barrier to coordinating care for Medicare-Medicaid enrollees has been financial misalignment between Medicare and Medicaid. Qualifying states have an option to pursue one or both of the capitated or the FFS financial alignment models. In states with approved demonstrations, CMS will test these models over the next several years. CMS is also working with some states to pursue demonstrations outside the capitated and FFS financial alignment models. 3 1
Two Models Capitated Model: State, CMS, and a health plan enter into a threeway contract Plan receives a prospective blended payment to provide comprehensive, coordinated care. Managed Fee-for-Service (FFS) Model: State and CMS enter into an agreement by which the state would be eligible to benefit from a portion of savings from initiatives designed to improve quality and reduce costs for both Medicare and Medicaid. 4 Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs) Restricts enrollment to special needs individuals with specific severe or disabling chronic conditions. Approximately two-thirds of Medicare beneficiaries have multiple chronic conditions requiring coordination of care among primary providers, medical and mental health specialists, inpatient and outpatient facilities, and extensive ancillary services related to diagnostic testing and therapeutic management. 5 Dual Eligible SNPs (D-SNPs) D-SNPs enroll beneficiaries who are entitled to both Medicare (Title XVIII) and Medical Assistance from a State Plan under Title XIX (Medicaid) 5 CMS-approved enrollment categories for D-SNPs: o All-Dual D-SNPs; o Full-Benefit D-SNPs; o Medicare Zero-Cost-sharing D-SNPs; o FIDE SNPs; and o Dual eligible subset D-SNPs. 6 2
Institutional SNPs (I-SNPs) Restrict enrollment to MA eligible individuals who, for 90 days or longer, have had or are expected to need the level of services provided in a long-term care (LTC) skilled nursing facility (SNF), a LTC nursing facility (NF), a SNF/NF, an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded (ICF/MR), or an inpatient psychiatric facility. 7 Models of Care Elements 1.
