What is a Special Needs Plan?
A Special Needs Plan (SNP) is a Medicare plan offered by Humana® that is tailored specifically for people with diabetes or chronic heart, lung, or kidney conditions. It combines the benefits of Original Medicare (Parts A & B) with prescription drug coverage (Part D) and additional tools and resources, including chronic disease management and wellness programs with a focus on prevention.
