Legal Basics: Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans

Event Description: 

Join the National Center on Law & Elder Rights (NCLER) for an upcoming webinar on dual-eligible special needs plans or D-SNPs. Over five million individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid are enrolled in these Medicare Advantage plans, and enrollment is expected to continue rising. An increasing number of states are focusing on D-SNPs as a primary vehicle for integrating care and improving coordination of services for their dual-eligible population. The training will provide basic information about D-SNPs, their structure, and how they are regulated. Presenters will identify specific areas where advocates can learn more about their individual states’ D-SNP landscape and engage with their states to ensure that D-SNPs work effectively to coordinate care and benefits for dual eligibles, including strategies for centering equity from the outset in the design of D-SNPs. For ASL interpretation or other accessibility-related questions, please email ncler@acl.hhs.gov at least one week in advance.

Presenters:

  • Rachel Gershon, Senior Attorney, Justice in Aging 

  • Tiffany Huyenh-Cho, Director of California Medicare & Medicaid Advocacy, Justice in Aging 

  • Moderator: Hannah Diamond, Policy Advocate, Justice in Aging

This webinar will take place on Tuesday, March 26 at 2:00 p.m. ET.
