FIDE-SNP
“Fully Integrated Dual Special Needs Plan”
- Provide nearly all Medicaid services, including LTSS, behavioral health, home health, and durable medical equipment (DME)
- Require Exclusively Aligned Enrollment (EAE)
- May be eligible for payment adjustments to account for the cost of serving a high concentration of frail individuals
All D-SNPs MUST Meet Certain Requirements

- Having a State Medicaid Agency Contract (SMAC) with each state they operate in
- Satisfying the criteria for integrating Medicare and Medicaid benefits
Dual/LIS Special Election Period Change
Starting in 2025, full dual-eligible beneficiaries will have access to a new monthly SEP, which allows enrollment in highly or fully integrated Dual Special Needs Plans (HIDE/FIDE SNPs). In addition, any beneficiary qualified for LIS or Medicaid will be eligible for a monthly SEP to disenroll from their Medicare Advantage plan, return to Original Medicare, and enroll in a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP).
The quarterly SEP that many have used in the past for dual-eligible individuals and those receiving Part D low-income subsidies (LIS) is no longer available. The SEP available for the first 3 quarters of the year ended on September 30, 2024.
