What is a Dual Special Needs Plan?
A Medicare Advantage plan that combines Medicare and Medi-Cal into one plan. Plans like these are often called Medi-Medi plans.
What are the benefits of a D-SNP plan?
With Original Medicare or a standard Medicare Advantage plan, you may have premiums (monthly fee) or copays for doctor visits (upfront costs at the clinic). With a Blue Shield TotalDual Plan (HMO D-SNP), you pay $0 premiums and $0 copays for covered services and dental coverage at no cost. Plus, you get allowances/benefit coverage for:
- Food and Produce
- Over-the-counter items
- Hearing aids
- Vision care, including eyeglass frames, lenses, or contact lenses
To enroll in a D-SNP, you need to qualify for both Medicare and Medi-Cal. At Blue Shield, we offer Blue Shield Total Dual Plan (HMO D-SNP) to Los Angeles and San Diego County residents.
Care coordinators are here to help members
Every Blue Shield TotalDual Plan (HMO D-SNP) member gets a dedicated care coordinator at no extra cost. Their services are available in multiple languages.
Care coordinators can answer questions about:
- Your health care
- Getting behavioral health (mental health and substance use disorders) services
- Dental benefits
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Long-term Services and Supports (LTSS), including Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS) and Nursing Facilities (NF)
