Peoples Health Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNP) are HMO-POS plans that offer benefits for people with both Medicare and Medicaid. These plans provide benefits beyond Original Medicare, such as transportation to medical appointments and routine vision exams, and neither requires referrals. Members must have Medicaid to enroll, although the level of Medicaid required varies by plan.
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans use a network of contracted local physicians and hospitals to provide member care. Generally, members must use these care providers to receive benefits for covered services, except in emergencies.
Point of Service (HMO-POS) plans include all the features of HMO plans plus the ability to go outside the contracted network for certain health care services - typically at a higher cost. Peoples Health POS plans only cover out-of-network dental care.
