What is the primary benefit of enrolling in an I-SNP for eligible individuals?

Enrolling in an I-SNP, or Institutional Special Needs Plan, provides the primary benefit of specialized care tailored to the needs of individuals, particularly those who reside in skilled nursing facilities or have specific health challenges. These plans are designed to address the unique health issues and care requirements of this population, ensuring that members receive appropriate medical attention and support.

This tailored approach often includes more personalized healthcare services, coordinated care management, and access to providers who understand the complexities involved in caring for individuals with significant health conditions. By focusing on the distinct needs of these individuals, I-SNPs help improve health outcomes and enhance the overall quality of care.

While other options such as access to outpatient services, lower premiums, or a wider range of covered medications may be benefits associated with various Medicare Advantage plans, they do not capture the primary advantage that I-SNPs offer, which is the comprehensive, specialized care focused on the specific health challenges faced by members.
