The SNPs provide care for individuals with complex healthcare needs
SNP Plan Description
FIDA
Fully Integrated Duals Advantage
• Focus on dual eligible beneficiaries
• Three-year demonstration program began in 2015
• Integrates all Medicare / Medicaid benefits into a single managed care benefit package
• Enrollment is voluntary, but beneficiaries who opt out are subject to mandatory MLTC enrollment
• Up to 140,000 duals residing in eight downstate counties could be enrolled
HARPs
Health and Recovery Plans
• Focus on complex adults beneficiaries in need of behavioral health services
• Slated to begin in 2015
• HARPs must contract with health homes
• Beneficiaries who do not meet eligibility threshold must join a mainstream managed care plan
DISCOs
Developmental Disabilities Individual Support & Care Coordination Organizations
• For beneficiaries with developmental disabilities
• Will serve as both the care coordination organization and the fiscal intermediary
• The DISCO benefit package will not include most primary and acute medical care services
Plans are designed to combat fragmentation in care delivery for complex patients
