D-SNP Integration Playbook for Health Plans
How to Close the Medicare-Medicaid Gap and Where Most Plans Get Stuck
D-SNPs were designed to deliver fully coordinated care across Medicare and Medicaid.
Most plans are still trying to get there. This playbook shows you what’s getting in the way, and exactly how to fix it.
Dual-eligible members depend on a system that was never designed to work together. Medicare and Medicaid operate under different rules, incentives, and structures. Without true integration, fragmentation is inevitable, but successful integration requires a unique operating model.
This playbook breaks down what that model looks like, and how leading plans are building it.
What You'll Learn:
-
Where your D-SNP strategy stands today, and the structural gaps holding you back
-
Why integration breaks down across Medicare and Medicaid (and why quick fixes don’t work)
-
The core components of a truly integrated model, from governance to care delivery
-
Where most health plans get stuck, and how to move past common barriers
-
A clear, actionable path forward to strengthen integration and improve performance
