Understanding D-SNP in Kansas

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get about Healthy Blue D-SNP plans.

If you live in Kansas and have both Medicare and Medicaid, you can enroll in a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) with Healthy Blue. These plans offer more than Original Medicare alone, at little to no cost to you.

Eligible seniors can enroll in a D-SNP plan during your initial enrollment period (which starts 3 months before your 65th birthday), during Medicare OEP, or during a SEP triggered by a qualifying life event like becoming eligible for Medicaid benefits. You must already be enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B) to join a D-SNP.
