SNP Overview
In general, SNPs were made for three different populations: people who are institutionalized, people who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare, and people who have severe or disabling chronic conditions as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). SNPs come in many forms, like a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Preferred Provider Organization (PPO).
C-SNP
A C-SNP is targeted at people with chronic conditions. Only certain people qualify for these plans. Generally, these people are very medically complex. The goal of C-SNPs is to help patients manage their chronic conditions and avoid hospitalizations. These plans have specific benefits, prescription plans, and drug formularies specific to their patients’ needs.
