 2008 Special Needs Plan Chronic Condition Panel Final Report
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is implementing
changes to Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs). The changes are
authorized by the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of
2008. The panelists in a special SNP selection group attempted to
recommend SNP-specific chronic conditions that are highly likely to have
nationally recognized protocols and guidelines to support evidence-based
care management.
The panel was not charged with and did not make judgments based on
business considerations, such as the potential profitability of the
selected chronic conditions.
