What are the benefits of a D-SNP plan?
With Original Medicare or a standard Medicare Advantage plan, you may have premiums (monthly fee) or copays for doctor visits (upfront costs at the clinic). With a Blue Shield Medicare + Medi-Cal Plan, you pay $0 premiums and $0 copays for covered services and dental coverage at no cost. Plus, you get extra benefits such as:
- Allowances for food and over-the-counter items
- Hearing care including hearing aids
- Vision care, including eyeglass frames, lenses, or contact lenses
- Dental care including crowns and dentures
To enroll in a joint Medicare and Medi-Cal plan (or D-SNP), you need to qualify for both Medicare and Medi-Cal. Not sure if you qualify? Call a Blue Shield Advisor today (844) 440-0317.*
A personal guide for your healthcare – at no extra cost
Every Blue Shield Medicare + Medi-Cal Plan member gets a dedicated care coordinator. Think of them as your personal guide to connect you to services you need.
Your care coordinators can help with things like:
- Understanding healthcare
- Getting mental health or substance use support
- Using your dental benefits
- Getting rides to medical appointments
- Setting up long-term care at home, nursing facility or accessing day programs
