S19 E05 - Medicare Advantage Health Insurance, Special Needs Programs, The three types available: C-SNP, D-SNP I-SNP and from who
I'll explain in clear and in easy to understand language the programs, details... which you may find are complicated and convoluted on the government website, and key values offered. For example, Dental benefits up to $4,000 on a United Healthcare plan! That's remarkable because while the Medicare Advantage plans typically have maybe $1000 or $1500 dollars, they don't have $4,000 in dental benefits.
C-SNP is a chronic condition program, D—SNP if you have a chronic condition, qualify for Medicaid so dual eligible. And then there's the institutional snip or I-SNP if you're in a nursing home or facility or incapacitated in some way. You may also qualify for a dual eligible plan one of these plans.
There are only a handful of carriers that do these. United Healthcare is probably the biggest in the marketplace that does, and they have multiple plans that they do this depending on the state that you're in.
There are many questions and scenarios, like: "I need to know if I qualify for a special needs program. It's my mother, my uncle, my grandmother, my father. Maybe it's my sister. If you don't have to be 65", if you're disabled, you may well qualify for one of these plans if you're on Medicaid.... that's also important to understand. That's called the dual-eligible plan. That's the one where you've got Medicaid, and people are afraid "to lose my Medicaid if I go to Medicare". No, there's a dual-eligible plan that helps you get Medicare, keep your Medicaid, and enhance your benefits greatly. I urge you, and if you or if it's that you are a caregiver or a family member or the one who needs this care, or maybe someone in your church...whatever the case may be, reach out to them and tell them to get this information.

Community Involvement RE: Food Insecurity, Health and Mental Health -Blue KC's Strategic Initiatives
Episode 2236 notes Macaela and Rebecca bring us their strategy and share with me their community initiatives in Kansas City: For example, Macaela tells how working with over 200 nonprofits in Kansas City and passionately supports them including some of our veterans annually with a group from Blue KC to help out with the tiny houses over at Veterans Community Project. We also supply funds to them to make sure that they can continue to thrive. Then there's Cornerstones of Care and its vocational program, Build Trybe, Kansas City Community Gardens and the Giving Grove to work with students at DeLaSalle Education Center in transforming an empty field next to the school into a new Learning Farm that will positively impact hundreds of young adults in surrounding neighborhoods. Rebecca reminds me when you look at Kansas City, about 1 in 7 adults don't know where their next meal is coming from, and we know one of the greatest inputs to chronic disease and the things that drive up health care costs are the foods. So if you're eating fast food and you're not eating healthy, you're likely to develop hypertension. You're likely to develop diabetes. It's all connected. You can't you can't unconnect it. and it's impacting every part of these people's lives. For me, I find what there two are doing is impactful and it’s making a difference. In this show I hope to educated you and inform you about what this company, Blue KC does be part of Kansas City. This is season 22 episode 36 of America’s Healthcare Advocate.
