Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans
Below is the list of 2014 Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs) in California by County. Medicare SNPs limit membership to people with specific diseases or characteristics, and tailor their benefits, provider choices, and drug formularies to best meet the specific needs of the groups they serve. A plan must limit membership to these groups:
- People who live in certain institutions (like a nursing home) or who require nursing care at home, or
- People who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, or
- People who have specific chronic or disabling conditions (like diabetes, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), HIV/AIDS, chronic heart failure, or dementia).
Plans may further limit membership. You can join a SNP at any time. Dual-Eligible indicates both Medicare and Medi-Cal eligible.
