Program terms

Medicaid

Medicaid offers health insurance to certain low-income families, people with disabilities, and older adults. The federal and state government fund it jointly.

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program. It's for people 65 years old and older. Some people under age 65 who have certain disabilities or conditions may qualify for Medicare.

Managed care

In managed care, one provider or organization coordinates all care for members. Some state Medicaid programs use managed care to give members high quality, cost-effective health care.

Dual Special Needs Plan

A Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) is a type of Medicare Advantage health plan. It’s for people who have both Medicaid and Medicare (called “dual-eligible”).

The D-SNP gives people extra help because of income, disabilities, age, and/or health conditions. Your D-SNP works with your Medicaid health plan to coordinate your care.
