Medicaid glossary: Dual Special Needs Plans
Dual Special Needs Plans (DSNPs) coordinate care for individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid — otherwise known as dually eligible. By creating one-stop-for-all care coordination, these plans improve member experiences, reduce risk of duplicative services, lower administrative burden, and make it easier to track and manage services that members receive. The following terms are commonly used when referring to how DSNPs help dually eligible individuals navigate care.
