Do you have both Medicare and Medicaid?

You may be eligible for extra benefits and services with a Medicare Advantage (Part C) HMO D-SNP plan from Florida Blue Medicare.

What is a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP)?

A Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) is a specific Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan designed for individuals who are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. D-SNP provides a convenient way to manage healthcare coverage under one policy with extra benefits and more services than the standard coverage in Medicaid and Original Medicare (Parts A & B).

Understanding Medicare and Medicaid

  • Medicare is a national health insurance program managed by the federal government for people 65 and older, and people with a qualifying disability.

  • Medicaid is a health insurance program funded jointly by both the state and federal government for individuals, families and children with limited income and resources.

We can help you save money on your Medicare costs!
