2. Care coordination: DSNPs provide care coordination services to help ensure that members receive the care and services they need. This may include help with scheduling appointments, transportation, and managing chronic conditions.
3. Low or no premiums: Many DSNPs have low or no monthly premiums, making them an affordable option for individuals with limited incomes.
4. No deductibles or copayments: DSNPs may not have deductibles or copayments for medical services, which can help reduce out-of-pocket costs for members.
5. Provider networks: DSNPs typically have a network of healthcare providers that members can choose from. It’s important to check that your preferred doctors, hospitals, and other providers are in the plan’s network before enrolling.
6. Enrollment: Eligible individuals can enroll in a DSNP during certain enrollment periods, such as the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) or a Special Enrollment Period (SEP).
