Am I eligible to apply for a D-SNP plan?

To apply for a D-SNP plan, you must qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. You need to meet the federal government’s requirements for Medicare eligibility, and your state’s specific requirements for Medicaid eligibility. To qualify for Medicare, you likely need to be:

  • Age 65 or older, or;
  • Under 65 with a qualifying disability, or;
  • Diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig's diesease).

If you are dual-eligible, you do not need to wait until the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) to choose a plan.

If you qualify for Medicaid and Medicare you may be eligible for more healthcare benefits.

Wellcare offers Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNP) that work with your Medicaid coverage. These plans help lower your out-of-pocket costs and provide more benefits than Original Medicare. Plus, plans have a $0 or low monthly plan premium.

Many plans also include EXTRA benefits like:

Savings

Save money with $0 or low monthly premiums

Money Back

Get money back in your Social Security check with our Giveback plans

Prescriptions

Enjoy a comprehensive formulary with $0 or low copays on generic drugs

Preventive Coverage

Access to doctor visits, dental care and vision benefits

Over-the-Counter

Fitness

Transportation
