Introducing the UnitedHealthcare Right Plan Promise™
It’s our commitment to helping you find the right plan for your needs.
Is a Dual Special Needs plan right for you?
It may be right for you if...
- You have Medicaid* and Medicare
- You have complex medical needs
- You need help to coordinate your care
- You’d like extra benefits and features at no extra cost
It's not the best for you if...
- You qualify for either Medicare or Medicaid, but not both
*Dual eligible enrollees are either Full Dual Eligible or Partial Dual Eligible. Full Dual Eligible enrollees qualify for full state Medicaid benefits, including covered medical care, whereas Partial Dual Eligible enrollees, don’t qualify for medical benefits through their state Medicaid program, but may qualify for additional help. Check eligibility requirements before you start the enrollment process. Some D-SNPs only accept members who are Full Dual Eligible.
We may have other plan options that meet your healthcare and budget needs if a Dual Special Needs plan isn't right for you.
Note: Not all D-SNPs are available in all areas. But there may be other Medicare Advantage plans that may be a good fit for you. To find plans in your area, enter your ZIP code at the bottom of the page and click the "Shop" button. This will take you to a page that shows all plans available for your ZIP code.
- The number of plans available will show above the plan type. For example, if there are five Medicare Advantage plans available in your area, you'll see the number "5" above "Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans."
- If you see a number above "Medicare Special Needs plans," click the "View plans" link under that plan type. This will let you see all Special Needs plans offered in your area — including D-SNPs, if they are available.
- If you see a "0" above "Medicare Special Needs plans," that means there aren't any Special Needs plans available in your area.
