D-SNPs: Medicare and Medicaid

Sorted by CMS star rating, then by how closely the plan is integrated with Mississippi Medicaid, then by worst-case year. If Medicaid or the QMB program pays your Medicare cost sharing, the out-of-pocket maximum matters less than the network and how well the plan works with Medicaid.

Worst-case year = 12 × monthly plan premium + in-network maximum out-of-pocket, for covered Part A and B services. Many D-SNP members pay $0 in premiums with Extra Help. Star ratings are CMS’s 2027 overall ratings for the contract behind each plan. Plans under CMS sanction aren’t listed. How we sort

Before you enroll: check the plan’s network and drug list in the official Medicare Plan Finder, and ask the plan whether you qualify. Free one-on-one help: your State Health Insurance Assistance Program.

Questions

How many Special Needs Plans are in Mississippi for 2027?

CMS lists 51: 36 D-SNPs (Medicare and Medicaid), 12 C-SNPs (chronic conditions) and 3 I-SNPs (institutional), from 9 parent companies. Not every plan is sold in every county; use the county filter.

Which D-SNPs in Mississippi are integrated with Medicaid?

All 36 D-SNPs in Mississippi are coordination-only plans: they coordinate with Medicaid, but your Medicaid benefits come separately.

Do Special Needs Plans include drug coverage?

Yes. Every Special Needs Plan must include Part D drug coverage.

Can I stay in a Special Needs Plan if I no longer qualify?

Only while you still meet the plan's rules. If you lose eligibility, you may get a Special Enrollment Period to join another plan.
