Medicare Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are a type of Medicare Advantage plan that provides coordinated care to beneficiaries with specific needs or situation. Like all Advantage plans, Special Needs Plans will have a network, usually either an HMO or a PPO.

A Medicare Advantage (MA) plan is a private health insurance plan approved by Medicare. You may opt to get your Part A, B, and D benefits from a Medicare Advantage plan instead of traditional Medicare. These Medicare private insurance plans usually have an HMO or PPO network of doctors.

Medicare Advantage plans were created as an alternative to Original Medicare and Medigap. By joining one of these plans, you direct Medicare to pay the Advantage plan a set monthly amount for your care. In return, the plan will deliver all of your Part A & Part B services. They take on all of your medical risks.

You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium while enrolled in an Advantage plan. You must be enrolled in both Medicare Parts A and B and live in the plan’s service area.

Final expense insurance is a perfect alternative to traditional life insurance because it is more affordable, no medical exam is required, and premiums will not increase over time.

Quick Tip: If you decide to leave an MAPD and return back to Original Medicare, you must notify your Medicare Advantage plan carrier. Otherwise Medicare will continue to show that you are enrolled in the Advantage plan instead of Medicare.
