Florida Releases D-SNP RFI—Possible Move Of 300,000 Dual Eligibles To Medicaid Managed Care Plans

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is considering moving people dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligibles) from the state's 27 Medicare Advantage (MA) Special Needs Plans for Dual Eligibles (D-SNP) to the state’s Medicaid managed care (SMMC) program. The move could affect up to 300,000 D-SNP members. The framework of this plan was released on May 15, 2023, in a request for information (RFI) asking stakeholders whether the state should continue with its Highly Integrated and Fully Integrated D-SNP contracts, which provide Medicaid benefits, or move to Coordination-Only contracts . . .
