We understand that caring for a child with special needs comes with unique challenges, including ensuring they receive the best possible healthcare. As a mother of a special needs child myself, I know firsthand the struggles of being an advocate and navigating the complex healthcare system due to a lack of resources. That is why I want to inform you about an important opportunity that may benefit your child: Dual Eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid.
What is Dual Eligibility?
Many families are unaware that their child may qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare has specific plans they call DSNP “Dual special needs plan” for individuals whom have both coverage. Your coverage stays the same as Medicaid picks up anything Medicare does not, however individuals enrolled in a DSNP plan are provided a monthly allowance they can spend on groceries, utilities or over the counter items such as toiletry, vitamins, and much more. DNSP plans cost absolutely nothing to have, I have helped change many peoples lives, everyone could use extra money.
Who Qualifies?
Your child may be eligible if they:
- Receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) due to a disability.
- Qualify for Medicaid based on a disability status.
- Have been approved for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and meet other Medicare criteria.
- Have any qualifying disability, end stage renal disease (ESRD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
