United Healthcare Dual Special Needs Plans (DSNP)
Some people have both Medicare and Medicaid. If so, they could be “dual eligible.” That’s where dual special needs plans — or “dual” plans — come in. Dual plans combine the benefits of both Medicare and Medicaid into one simple health plan. If you have Medicare and Medicaid, chances are you could qualify for a dual plan.
Dual plans offer extra benefits at no extra cost.
Dual plans go beyond either Medicaid or Original Medicare alone. You’ll still keep the Medicaid benefits you get today. And better yet, with a dual plan, you could get many extra benefits and features than Original Medicare at no extra cost. These extra benefits may include:
Dental care, plus credit for restorative work.
Eye exams, plus credit for eyewear.
Hearing exams, plus credit for hearing devices.
Rides to health care visits and the pharmacy.
Credits to buy hundreds of health-related products.
