Medicare + Medicaid = More benefits for you

A D-SNP is a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan. It gives you all the benefits of Original Medicare, with the extras that come with a Medicare Advantage plan. D-SNPs:

• Provide coverage for people who are enrolled in both Medicare + Medicaid.
• Coordinate care and benefits between Medicare, a federal program, and Medicaid, a state program.
• Help people with the highest needs cover out-of-pocket costs.
• Give you all Part A and Part B benefits for $0.

You must be dual eligible.* That means:

• You qualify for Medicare Part A and Part B.
• You meet the income, asset levels, and medical needs to qualify for state Medicaid.

BlueRI for Duals may be a good plan for:

• Low-income adults who are 65 years or older.
• Younger adults with disabilities

*There are additional eligibility requirements. There may be other ways to qualify as well. Talk with one of our local Medicaid specialists to learn about your options.

• After qualifying life events or during the Medicare Advantage Annual Election Period (AEP: October 15 - December 7).
• If you just became eligible for a D-SNP plan, you can enroll any time.
• If you have Medicaid, you become eligible for Special Election Periods (SEPs). During these times, you can join, switch, or drop your plan one time each quarter:
  • January – March
  • April – June
  • July – September
