Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs) With Anthem
Medicare Advantage SNPs are plans for people living with certain medical conditions or those with low income. They include Medicare Parts A, B, and D (prescription drug coverage) and other coverage targeted for your needs.
Special Needs Plans With Anthem
Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are Medicare Advantage plans for people with limited income or certain conditions or diseases. It can be hard to have a condition that requires extra health care, and just as hard to cover health costs on a fixed or low income.
Here are some ways a Medicare Special Needs Plan may be able to help:
Extra support from a special team of care providers
Prescription drug coverage
Rides to health-related appointments
Free healthy meals
Medicare Part B premium coverage
SilverSneakers® fitness membership
This list does not include all benefits that come with Special Needs Plans. Coverage changes based on where you live.
If you don’t qualify for a SNP, our Medicare Advantage HMO plans and Medicare Advantage PPO plans may be right for you. Take a look to see what’s available in your area.
Which Special Needs Plan Fits You?
Dual-Eligible SNP (D-SNP)
A D-SNP offers extra support for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid.
You need to be 65 or older or have certain health conditions to qualify for Medicare. Medicaid is based on your income level instead of your age. If your income qualifies you for assistance, you can be younger than 65.
Our D-SNPs include:
- Vision coverage
- Dental coverage
- Prescription drug coverage

Special Enrollment Period For SNPs
If your health needs or living situation change, you may need to change your Medicare Advantage plan. The Special Enrollment Period is a span of time when you can enroll in a new plan if your health needs or living situation changed.
For example, if you are newly diagnosed with diabetes or a heart condition, you may qualify for a Special Needs Plan. You can use the Special Enrollment Period to switch your plan.
